Estimate
Wow...such an expressive and beautifully perfumed yet wonderfully complex nose of kirsch, chocolate-covered cherries, dried mulberries and roses with hints of licorice, potpourri and incense. Full-bodied, rich, firm and wonderfully structured with great freshness and wonderfully ripe tannins, it finishes with epic length and depth.
...outrageously beautiful. Vivid, rich and explosive, the 2016 possesses tremendous density and volume without ever being heavy. The purity of the flavors is simply dazzling. Sweet floral notes, bright, red-toned fruit and mint literally explode from the glass in this deep, layered wine from Limerick Lane. In a word: sublime.
...flat-out gorgeous. More pure, elegant, and seamless...it has sensational notes of crème de cassis, blueberries, smoked earth, cedar plank, and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ultra-fine, nuanced, and elegant, it's one of the standouts in this lineup.
...insanely good, soft and spicy in black and white pepper from first sip. Elongated, chalky tannins support bright, fresh acidity and strong, well-defined flavors of leather pouch, crushed rock and cherry. The texture is supple and complex.
Gutsy and powerfully built, with expressive blackberry, dried sage and cracked pepper flavors that take on personality toward zesty tannins.
