Estimate
...steely, peppery, gun-metal streak runs up and down the spine...blue and black fruits, ripping acidity, firm tannins and a light suggestion of root beer.
Broad in structure, tangy in balance, with raging acidity playing against ripe cherry, blackberry and mineral flavors, persisting into the vivid, expressive finish.
...blackberry and briary first, then a touch of violet coming through...palate is medium-bodied with a touch of burnt toast infusing the black fruit on the entry. Very harmonious, reserved in style with a masculine, reserved finish...
