Estimate
Bright red fruit, flowers, game and licorice are all pushed forward...very nicely balanced, with tons of sheer allure...
Soft yet dark aromas of black raspberry sorbet are lifted by star anise and wild mint aromas...rich boysenberry depth to the palate, alongside fennel pollen, rounded baking spice and a plum-skin tang.
A creamy red, with concentrated dark cherry, kirsch and damson plum flavors, supported by vibrant acidity. Cola and nutmeg accents linger on the juicy and well-spiced finish.
Notes of caramelized cherries, scorched earth, toasted spice, and hints of oak all emerge from the nose of this ripe, rounded, sexy effort...sweet tannins and plenty of mouthfilling fruit...
...scents of bergamot, violet, pipe tobacco, lilac, saline, dust and a light framing of new oak—lots of layers...palate is light to medium-bodied and perfumed, showing great concentration and lovely layers, with grainy tannins and good freshness, finishing with a touch of oak poking through.
