Estimate
Powerful, mineral-accented dark berries, candied licorice and a hint of potpourri on the deeply perfumed nose. Sappy, expansive black and blue fruit flavors show very good depth, strong, spicy lift and velvety texture. In an ample but energetic style, finishing smooth, floral and impressively long and revealing just a hint of fine-grained tannins.
This sits more on the strawberry and poached raspberry zone. Shows a supple, ripe and fleshy palate texture. Good balance.
...palate is quite understated on the entry but it is nicely balanced with fine tannin, pure blackberry and boysenberry fruit with a tensile and composed finish. Excellent.
