Estimate
...bombastic notions of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and Black Forest cake plus suggestions of Indian spices, hoisin and dusty soil with a waft of sandalwood. The full-bodied palate explodes with black fruit and exotic spice layers, supported by plush tannins and balancing freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
Dark raspberry jam, spice, licorice, cedar and iron are all front and center in this huge, massively endowed wine...packs plenty of punch.
...a ripe, sweetly fruited, up-front beauty that offers loads of jammy black and blue fruit as well as notes of chocolate, licorice, toasted spice, and scorched earth. With full-bodied richness on the palate, it has plenty of tannins, good overall balance, and a great finish.
