Estimate
Polished and multilayered, with expressive red currant, smoky spice and green olive accents that take on richness toward fine-grained tannins.
...terrific perfume of black cherries, cassis, toasty oak, and graphite. It's medium to full-bodied, plump, and rounded, with ample tannins as well as purity of fruit...beautiful, outstanding, incredibly promising Merlot...
... Inviting aromas of raspberry, cherry and licorice, plus a whiff of milk chocolate. Sappy, highly perfumed flavors of crushed raspberry, spices, licorice and herbs...finishes firmly tannic, with an element of medicinal reserve...
Black raspberry, dried and fresh herb and black currant aromas are at the fore. Ripe, lush fruit flavors follow, supported by firm, lightly grainy tannins. It has a nice yum factor.
