Estimate
Alluring aromas of dried blueberries, currants, cloves and smoked meat...full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Flavorful cooked-fruit and savory character.
Reductive, this wine opens in soy, tobacco and cedar. With a grippy backbone of tannin, it offers dense, rounded layers of black fruit that complement the earthiness.
...rock-solid, with lots of cassis and mulberry fruits mixed with candied flowers, spice, and vanilla-like nuances...rich and medium to full-bodied, with solid overall balance and ripe tannins...
