Estimate
Fresh red cherries and sappy allure on the nose, moving to a palate that has almost chalky, compact tannins and a very succulent and detailed, fresh finish.
Smoky, meaty notes...offers up hints of roses, cherries and clove. Medium-bodied, silky and elegant on the palate, it lingers teasingly on the finish, alternating between fruity and savory characters, both wrapped around a graphite-laced backbone.
Firm up front, featuring fleshy plum and black cherry flavors and a touch of Chinese five-spice powder. Muscular, showing terrific restraint, with a mix of herb, tobacco and Earl Grey tea notes on the long finish.
