Estimate
...biggest and richest of these wines. It shows plenty of Monforte character, with layers of mint, menthol, spice, eucalyptus and dark red fruit. The tannins are firm yet there is plenty of muscle in the fruit to provide balance...
Bright dark red. Aromas of raspberry, red cherry, clove and flowers, plus a gamey nuance that dissipated with air. Firmly built and precise but also sweet and generous, with a light touch to its intense flavors of red cherry...
...vanilla and dried fruits that follow through to a full body. Chewy finish. A little too much new wood but should come together.
Bright cherry and strawberry flavors highlight this well-structured red. Taut and finely grained, with spice and tobacco notes chiming in as the finish lingers.
