Estimate
The wonderfully vibrant and beautifully well-detailed medium weight flavors brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract while delivering outstanding length...robust and well-balanced finish.
Brooding aromas of crushed black cherry, blackberry, violet and licorice. Juicy but not hard on the palate, with strong purple fruit and licorice flavors showing surprising pliancy. Finishes with a firm spine of slightly tough, oak-driven tannins and very good length.
Perfumed and rather glorious. Great life and lift. Really racy and solid with fruit in the ascendant.
