Estimate
...blockbuster...deep, inky, seriously black Syrah gives up Hermitage-like notes of scorched earth, charred meats, graphite and licorice. It’s a big, concentrated effort.
...masculine, structured, mineral-driven style...loaded with notions of black, black fruits, scorched earth, graphite, and charred meats. It’s a big, rich, inky effort...awesome purity of fruit and is impeccably balanced.
... Deep, smoky aromas of dark raspberry, animal fur, roasted meat, chocolate and violet...intense...stuffed with black fruit flavors complicated by musky earthy and saline components...no lack of sweetness--and a step up in concentration. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins and excellent length...
Intriguing aromas of boysenberry syrup, plum, sweet herb and barrel spice lead to exquisitely balanced, somewhat elegantly styled fruit and savory flavors...
