Estimate
It is a smooth and earthy wine that offers flavors of leather, earth, iron and crushed rock cut against herbal accents.
...terrific richness and tons of allure. Blackberry jam, dried flowers, espresso, licorice and leather build in a sumptuous, opulent wine that will be very easy to drink upon release.
...delivers a pure beam of raspberry and cherry purée, with light floral and anise hints in the background. Finish is unencumbered by toast and lingers prettily.
Sweet oak is the most noticeable aroma at first – the classic coconut and vanilla spices – but there's rich blackcurrant fruit underneath, and medicinal elements too, in a herbaceous sort of way... Softly tannic, with plenty of warmth to the aftertaste.
