Estimate
Traditional in style and elegant...aromatic, with dried herb and floral notes, accented by graphite and spice. A balanced red, expressive without excessive weight. The fine-grained tannins are layered with flavors of mulberry, dried cherry, pekoe tea leaf and smoke.
Lifted aromas of dark sour cherry and sweet red cherry, a touch of oak spice and a very slight meatiness... Juicy and moreish on the palate, lots of bright cherry fruit but with a depth and complexity... Finely chewy tannins shot through with the lively fruit...finishes fresh.
