Estimate
Smoke-accented blackberry, cherry pit, violet and candied licorice aromas are lifted by a peppery nuance. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering bitter cherry, cassis and fruitcake flavors...turn sweeter on the back half. Chewy tannins frame an impressively persistent finish that leaves behind notes of dark chocolate, cherry liqueur and allspice.
...lovely, wafting from the glass with a pure bouquet of red cherry, licorice and black olive. On the palate, it's full-bodied, richly tannic and layered, with an ample core of juicy fruit and a long, chewy finish.
Dense, featuring a thick core of chewy tannins, with wild blackberry, blood orange, Earl Grey tea, dried lavender and cigar box notes offering concentration and charm. Harmonious on the finish.
