Estimate
A polished style, with a light touch of new oak, evoking macerated cherry, strawberry, mineral, earth, wild herb and light spice flavors. Turns lean and dense, with a supporting layer of tannins on the finish.
Purity and richness here, with beautiful depth and intensity. Dried berry, strawberry and smoke meat. It’s full-bodied with round, juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Creamy texture. Spicy finish.
...aromas of honey, ripe cherry, blackberry confit and even a touch of dried apricot.
...nose is grounded with cedar, forest floor, dried plum, and fresh tobacco. Gentle tannins and acidity contribute to a weightless mouthfeel.
Notes of crushed plums and cherries are contrasted by exotic spice, dried citrus and cinnamon sugar...velvety, almost creamy in feel, maintaining balance in spite of its large-scale feel with a tactile display of mineral-tinged wild berries and mentholated herbs. This finishes structured yet with enough primary fruit to warrant cellaring for ten years or more.
