Estimate
...offers a sexy, forward bouquet of plums, spice box, candied black olives and kirsch in a full-bodied, balanced, hedonistic style.
Candied black and blue fruits, violet and fig paste on the deeply perfumed, spice-tinged nose. Sweet, seamless and velvety in texture, offering fruitcake, blueberry preserve and licorice pastille flavors that are energized by a jolt of cracked pepper. Luscious, creamy and emphatically sweet, but there's energy here as well. Closes very long and spicy, with persistent dark fruit character and just a hint of fine-grained tannins.
