Estimate
Opens with beautiful aromas of lavender, clary sage and violet. Refined and detailed, with velvety tannins adding some appealing traction to the core of raspberry and black cherry. Everything comes together with tremendous harmony on the long, generous finish.
...red cherries, boysenberries and blueberries amid a swathe of sappy forest and bracken notes. Subtle toasty oak here too...palate is full and fleshy, packed with rich red and dark cherry and cocoa powder flavors. Tannins clasp the finish neatly with nicely judged structure and grip.
...earthy nose with notes of underbrush, loam, fungi and moss over a core of cranberries and red currants. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with complex earthy/meaty flavors supported by a solid backbone, finishing long and chewy.
...offers bold notes of black cherries, plum and cola. It's a rich, ripe and powerful wine, with a long, intense finish...
Well-mannered nose and masses of fruit spread over the palate... A creditable whole...well-polished tannins.
