Estimate
...plenty of savory black (and some blue) fruits, notes of bouquet garni, spice, and liquid violets, medium to full body, some background meatiness, and a great finish.
...aromas of blackberries, grilled meat, juniper and burnt sage. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with low acidity, ripe tannins and a deep core of fruit. Open-knit and generous...
Harmonious and expressive...offering black raspberry, dark licorice and smoked pepper flavors that take on structure toward refined tannins.
Sexy, inviting aromas of blackberry, red raspberry and smoked meat. Complex, sappy and varietally expressive on the palate, with blackberry and bitter chocolate flavors lifted by violet and black pepper... Finishes strong and long, with a slightly exotic floral quality adding to its appeal.
...Aromas of plum preserve, jarred cherry, violet and dried stem lead to plush fruit flavors.
