Estimate
This is extremely perfumed, offering roses, lavender and dried berries with some dark cherry undertones. Full-bodied and chewy, with polished tannins that are fine and run the length of the wine. Sandalwood and berries at the finish.
...pressed blackberry, earth and sweet baking spice or Spanish cedar.
This red offers a mix of plum, black cherry, fruit cake and spice flavors. Opulent and backed by a spine of beefy tannins, yet this finds a nice balance. Shows plenty of concentration and finishes long.
...rich and alluring bouquet of plum sauce, tobacco and cocoa is lifted by mentholated herbs and hints of pine...coasts along the palate in velvety waves, presenting a polished display of ripe currants mixed with savory balsamic spices and minerals that add a salty sensation toward the close...tannins are sweet and round, complemented by hints of sour citrus and tart cherry.
Aromas of French oak, ripe plum, leather and coconut shape the nose on this brawny red along with the barest whiff of burned rubber. Densely concentrated and enveloping, the meaty palate offers stewed prune, licorice, espresso and hints of maple syrup alongside velvety, close-grained tannins.
A loose fruit-and-oak nose. Concentrated, sweet-sour cherry and oak mingling on the palate. Lots of gravelly tannins on the fruit-driven finish.
