Estimate
The generosity here is undeniable, the tannins are sturdy and the fruit aromas and flavors run from red to darker-berry notes. There’s sure-footed balance in play. Such generous fruit here.
Intense red and dark berry aromas complicated by notes of rose, white pepper and licorice. Explosive black raspberry and cherry compote flavors are firmed by a touch of bitter chocolate and show very good depth. Dusty tannins give grip to a long, focused finish.
...hint of warm asphalt, just enough to highlight the wine's plum and black cherry fruit. It's full bodied and features a long finish, outlined by wonderfully fine, dusty tannins.
