Estimate
...warm blackberries and red berries, gaining depth with an emerging perfume of roses, potpourri, Earl Grey tea leaves and woodsmoke. Medium-bodied and silky, it's concentrated and fresh with a long, nuanced finish.
... Assertive red berry preserve and incense aromas, along with suggestions of oak spices, cola and smoky minerals. Spicy and focused on entry and then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering black raspberry, bitter cherry and vanilla flavors and a touch of white pepper. Shows very good energy and spicy lift on the persistent finish, which is framed by smooth, even tannins.
