Community Tasting Notes (average 87.5 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 3 notes)

Rating for United States-California: 91 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

structure drank too soon but lovely fruit on nose nicely made cassis doesn't seem like overblown cab some mintiness

Thick full bodied with heavy blackberry. I'd rate it higher than the 89 it's been getting.

Strong tannins mellowed with decanting loads of fruit cherry plum tobacco light mint

Le Estate a plus de presence en bouche. Bon rapport qualite-prix.
