Estimate
Dark plums and some lighter redder fruits, as well as spicy, earthy and tarry elements...palate has a seamless, deep-set and layered mouthfeel with a strong and fresh spine of dark plums.
Bold and expressive, opening with plump wild blackberry, black licorice and blueberry flavors, giving way to sage, caramel and chai tea notes...detailed, velvety tannins...long finish.
...aromas of crushed stones, pencil shavings, sandalwood and blueberries...medium to full-bodied, with deep, concentrated flavors, ample fine-grained tannins and a tremendously long finish.
High-toned red currant, raspberry and plum fruit is wound with peppery spice and warm pavement nuances. Tannins are firm and powerful but tightly focused, supporting rather than overpowering the tangy red fruit.
