Estimate
A total knockout...ripe, powerful, full-bodied style as well as textbook Missouri Hopper notes of black, chocolaty fruit, smoked herbs, tobacco, and crushed rocks...great mid-palate, loads of pure, opulent fruit, integrated oak, and fine tannins...
...expressive red and black currants notes with hints of fresh plums, dried Provence herbs, cedar chest and pencil lead with a waft of forest floor. Full-bodied...solid backbone of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and savory.
Quite dark and ripe, with fig and blackberry reduction notes that build steadily while licorice snap and Turkish coffee accents emerge through the back end. Late singed-alder note adds a nice touch.
