Estimate
A full-bodied red with cherry, walnut and coffee undertones...full and complete with beautiful intensity and a focused tannin structure.
...black cherries, sage, a dusting of cinnamon, clove and hints of licorice...medium in body and silky in texture, showing gorgeous inner sweetness, as balsamic-laced red berries and minerals cascade across the palate...tannins are round yet persistent, balanced by vibrant acids which maintain freshness, finishing with excellent length and remnants of primary fruit.
A camphor aroma joins new leather, underbrush and pipe tobacco...firmly structured, the palate delivers dried cherry, licorice and grilled porcini set against a tannic backbone...balanced by fresh acidity.
Notes of black cherry fruit, sassafras, dried thyme, and baked earth. Black cherry lozenge fills the midpalate, with persistent tannin and balanced acid...has grounding and powerful structure, with more finesse and lift...
Real concentration and depth on the nose and rich sweet-sour cherry fruit with matching muscular tannins on the palate.
