Estimate
Plum, chocolate and bark with some cloves on the nose...full-bodied with round, fresh tannins that provide form and tension. Lots of fruit and flavor. Hints of walnut and hazelnut to the fruit at the end.
Broad-shouldered but tightly focused, with deep blackberry, peppered beef and smoky anise flavors that build toward slightly prickly tannins.
...beautiful blackberry and blueberry fruits as well as medium to full-bodied richness, a plush, layered, expansive texture, ripe tannins, and classy spicy, peppery aromas and flavors.
The concentrated nose offers expressive aromas of blackberry preserves with elements of dusty violets, roasted herbs and hints of cinnamon and spices. Medium to full-bodied...palate is balanced with a firm tannic edge and ends with a dusty and complex finish.
Aromas of coffee, cherry, berry and spice are followed by creamy feeling coffee flavors. Fruit and barrel play equal parts.
