Estimate
Peppered meats, tapenade, spice, and assorted red and black fruits emerge from this concentrated, layered, yet perfectly balanced 2016...
...alder, singed sandalwood and tobacco notes coursing along...core of gently steeped red and black cherry and currant fruit...A serious cast iron spine drives the finish.
...a touch of cedar on the nose but also bold blueberry and cherry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, with a rich, velvety texture and a long finish.
Intensely perfumed aromas of ripe dark berries, candied licorice, cured tobacco, incense and peony... Stains the palate with powerful black currant, bitter cherry, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that are sharpened by an undercurrent of juicy acidity...impressive energy and mineral cut...tannic finish, which hangs on with superb tenacity.
