Estimate
Offers polish and structure, with floral black cherry, cinnamon and toasted spice flavors that take on richness toward refined tannins.
Blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, espresso and violet on the slightly musky, vibrant nose. Then smooth and energetic but still a bit youthfully tight in the mouth, with intense black and blue fruit flavors sweetened by a note of chocolate.
...nose is focused with black and red fruits that have a chewy quality about them, with a softly extracted expression. Black cherry, dark plum and redcurrant show well on the medium to full-bodied palate...
Ripe dark plums and berries with cassia bark and other woody complexities. The palate has a smooth build of plums with tannins that build nicely at the back.
Aromas of gun smoke, black raspberry, red currant, herb and high-toned barrel spice are followed by soft, smooth feeling fruit flavors that stretch out on the finish.
