Estimate
...gorgeous, complex aromas of cigar box, pencil shavings and graphite followed by dark red fruits, blackberry and oak spices tied to spicy florals. Full-bodied, the wine is layered, precise and finessed on the palate, with gobs of picturesque black fruit flavors and elegant oak tones that give way to a firm mineral tension and fine-grained tannins... Bravo!
...bouquet of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, graphite, and spicy oak. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, some chalky minerality, top-notch balance, and a great finish.
Kirsch cordial and mocha tones combine with suggestions of creosote and blackberry compote on the palate. With more air, the herbal undertones become more prominent.
...aromas offer notes of flower, tea, herb, black cherry, clove and chocolate...palate is juicy and restrained, with a grip of tannins on the finish.
Aromas of plump blackcurrants, plums and sap. Full-bodied with soft tannins and sharp acidity. Rich and intense. Stony finish.
