Estimate
Spice-tinged aromas of black raspberry, cherry cola and pipe tobacco, along with a hint of candied rose in the background. Concentrated yet lively in the mouth, offering juicy dark berry, bitter cherry and spice-cake flavors... Fine-grained tannins come in late, adding gentle grip to a long, penetrating finish.
Dense aromas of blackberry, ham, coffee and a hint of leather show on the brooding nose...palate is loaded with earthy and savory flavors of bloody meats and tobacco, as sandy tannins frame the dark fruit flavors.
