Estimate
Sweet, vanilla tones and resinous oak mingle with the cherry, plum and tobacco flavors... Shows fine, spicy length.
Aromas of baked plum, oak, camphor and violet waft out of the glass. Reflecting the nose, the warm, bold palate features prune, black-cherry jam, vanilla, espresso and almond liqueur accompanied by assertive, fine-grained tannins.
...a lifted display, both floral and dusty, revealing sweet rose, strawberry, cloves and hints of licorice...velvety-smooth and elegant in feel, casting blue-tinged ripe berries effortlessly across the palate, as minerals and fine tannins collect toward the close. It tapers off lightly structured, with a note of wild berry preserves and sage lingering long.
Sweet oak with hints of coconut layering the fruit... Sweet, minty and oaky fruit...fruit quality is so high... Juicy finish with grainy tannins...
