Estimate
...nose shows off white pepper, with Asian spices, brisket and shades of wild blackberry...palate is very dense but also seamless and elegant on the mouth. Weightless with its rich core of roasted dates and boysenberry alongside menthol, scorched earth and salty undertones...
...nose is classic, fresh and red-fruited with dusty florals, succulent spiced cherry and dusty plums. Full-bodied, the mouthfeel is rich and round with a juicy core...bright and focused finish with notes of lingering red peppercorns on the aftertaste.
Opens with a burst of fresh raspberry and red currant flavors, then slowly takes on deep structure and compelling accents of savory beef, licorice and pepper, finishing with big but polished tannins.
...exotic and expressive, with foreign spice and dried blood orange giving way to deeper notes of red plum and dried strawberries. Silky, nearly opulent in feel, this impresses further with waves of texturally ripe red and blue fruits complicated by an undercurrent of chalky minerals...finishes lightly structured with nuances of raspberry and chalky tannins that resonate.
...offers smoky red and black fruits as well as notes of lavender, peppery herbs, leather, and flowers. Medium to full-bodied and up front, it has good mid-palate density and ripe yet building tannins.
