Estimate
...big and juicy with seductive aromas of blackberry compote, dusty flowers and elegant oak spices. Full-bodied with generous layers and a robust and luxurious mouthfeel...generous layers of resinous purple flowers...
What a deep core of black fruit here. Concentrated notes of blackcurrants, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, bitter chocolate and graphite here, with wet earth and stony minerality. Black cherries and salty olives, too. Full-bodied and broad, with generous horizontal layers that interweave with firm and polished tannins.
...dusty rose, dried strawberries and sweet autumnal spices forming its captivating bouquet...pure elegance from start to finish, washing across the palate with a dense textural wave of ripe dark red fruits, sweet spice and cocoa, as grippy tannins slowly saturate toward the close.
Cassis, black cherries, graphite, and classic Red Mountain chalky mineral nuances define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a focused, elegant texture, nicely integrated tannins, and outstanding length.
