Estimate
Black raspberry, blackberry jam, toasted spices, dried flowers and cured meat notes give way to a sexy, full-bodied, ripe, and incredibly opulent 2015 that has sweet tannin, no hard edges and a huge finish.
...offering olive, raspberry and mocha shadings while being full-bodied, plush and velvety yet vibrant on the long finish.
A warm, plush style, with inviting raspberry, plum and blackberry compote flavors forming the core, while singed alder, black tea and loam accents roll underneath. A flash of minerality adds contrasting brightness and cut on the finish.
Spice- and mineral accented dark berry preserve, olive, vanilla and floral pastille aromas show excellent clarity and pick up licorice and cola nuances with air. Sappy and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering sweet boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors sharpened by a zesty cracked pepper flourish. Powerful yet impressively energetic, delivering superb finishing clarity and velvety tannins
...exciting, spicy nose...cool on the palate. Attention-grabbing...lots going on here! Bloody, meat-and-two-veg flavours on the palate.
