Estimate
Black cherries and cassis lead the way, with subtle hints of sage and mint, all framed by gentle shadings of cedar and vanilla. It's full-bodied and velvety in feel, concentrated and flavorful without being overbearing or inelegant, with a long, streamlined finish.
...offers a pure, medium to full-bodied, incredibly elegant style as well as great aromatics of cassis, spring flowers, and violets. It’s not massive, has spot-on balance, nicely integrated oak, and silky tannins.
An extroverted style, with a bold display of warmed blackberry, steeped black currant and fig paste flavors lined liberally with singed vanilla, dried anise and warm earth. Stays gusty through the finish, too, pumping out the fruit and toast.
A perfumed nose of mulberries, cassis, dried thyme, vanilla, cedar and spice box. Full body with plush tannins. Round, creamy and rich. Generous sweet-spice notes on the long finish.
Very ripe tasting, very full bodied and very oaky, this giant wine fills the mouth with dried-fruit flavors, dark chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla as an almost-sweet sensation carries the palate and lingering finish.
Inky dark fruit, sweet oak and chocolate all run through an opulent Cabernet endowed with port-like richness.
