Estimate
A bright and juicy style, with lots of freshly crushed loganberry, boysenberry and black currant fruit jumping to the fore, followed by briar and sweet tobacco notes on the finish. Solid grip throughout. This is really coiled for the long haul.
A striking balance of intense richness from the low yields on the mountain and the intensely mineral/savory qualities...Graphite, smoke, grilled herbs, crème de cassis, menthol and iron build into the huge finish.
Huge sucrosity, a big, fat, juicy mouthfeel, a dense black/purple color and plenty of crème de cassis, blackberry, camphor and licorice are all present in this layered, rather highly extracted and rich wine.
