Estimate
...expressive display of meat, game, cedar, sage, and blueberry. The fruit is ripe and sweet, the balance impeccable, and the finish lasts for nearly a minute.
Dense and layered, with lots of fig, black currant paste, mocha and black licorice flavors, all supported by a muscular structure. The long, dark finish has lots of power in reserve, but shows fine harmony already.
Powerful blackberry and cassis aromas are complicated by smoked meat, vanillin oak and candied licorice. Supple, sweet and broad, with luscious blackberry and cherry preserve flavors, velvety tannins and great depth.
