Estimate
Deep and elegantly...layered, fleshy...evocative or orange rind, rose petals, sweet berry fruit and raw cocoa. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a long, mineral finish...
...floral bouquet of black and blueberry fruit infused with crushed violet and iris petal... The palate is medium-bodied, with light Earl Grey and ash notes tincturing the black fruit. Fine structure and focus... Light on its feet toward the long, sustained finish.
Superb, dark fruit aromas with hints of violets and a salty minerality are sustained through a lingering finish by the rich extract and freshness.
Liqueur-like aromas of plum, kirsch, rose petal and violet are trimmed by notes of oak and menthol...big-bodied and markedly powerful flavors that possess an abundance of sappy dry extract that imparts a lovely texture to the intensely structured, muscular and impressively persistent finale.
