Estimate
...lots of blackcurrant and black raspberry fruits, toasted spice, licorice and floral aromas and flavors. These give way to a full-bodied, structured 2013 that has solid mid-palate depth and building tannin on the finish.
Ripe but high-pitched aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate, black licorice, anise, leather and tobacco, lifted by minty high tones. Impressively broad and ripe...spreading out to saturate the palate. Longer on the aftertaste too, with more fruit sweetness to buffer the chewy tannins.
Firm and generous, rolling out blackberry, plum and currant flavors onto a velvety frame. Gains momentum on the long and expressive finish.
Interesting broad, ripe nose with a herbal top note... Great balance. Serious stuff.
