Estimate
...Heady, smoke-accented red and dark berry scents pick up hints of succulent herbs, candied flowers and minerals with air. Deeply concentrated yet lithe on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and cherry cola flavors and hints of star anise, rose pastille and mocha. Closes very long and smooth, with displaying resonating dark fruit character and gentle tannic grip.
There's a lushness to this warmly fruity vineyard selection, that wraps the mixed red-berry fruit in a blanket of milk chocolate. Hints of mint and fresh herb strike a bright note as well...
...The fruit is very clean and precise with redcurrant and crushed strawberry scents unfurling from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with undergrowth-tinged red berry fruit, a touch of bitter cherry lending tension, a keen thread of acidity...with a dash of spice on the aftertaste.
