Estimate
...dark currant and warmed fig compote flavors that are spiked with tar, licorice root and sage details...lingering charcoal note adds to the grippy feel.
Spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, violet and smoky minerals, plus a hint of allspice in the background. Concentrated yet lithe and precise, offering spice-tinged dark berry flavors and a bracing jolt of acidity that adds focus and back-end cut. Fleshes out slowly with air and shows very good clarity and appealing sweetness on a long, gently tannic finish.
...smorgasbord of Syrah goodness; blackcurrants, black cherries, smoked meats, pepper and licorice all give way to a medium to full-bodied, unctuous and ripe 2016 that has plenty of power and richness.
Mushroom and earth on the nose – quite earthy and feral with firm, ambitious tannin. Black cherry and olive to finish. Bold, intense.
