Estimate
High-toned, flamboyant aromas of blackberry, cassis, black cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate. Sweet, dense and concentrated; the fresh black fruit flavors are sappy and nicely delineated...tannins build on the finish, but there's plenty of lingering fruit and just a soupçon of heat. Very impressive.
Ripe and lively, brimming with jazzy wild berry, raspberry, cherry and spice up front...then picks up a chocolaty edge, with toasty oak and some heat.
