Estimate
...intense steeped plum, anise, pain d’épices, singed apple wood and fruitcake notes layered together, framed by smoldering charcoal and sweet tobacco accents and riveted to a tarry spine.
...an incredibly pure, fresh & nuanced bouquet of creme de cassis, licorice, crushed stone & spring flowers that flows to a full-bodied, detailed & yet gorgeously rich & textured palate... massive mid-palate depth & concentration...
Sweet, penetrating and pure, offering palate-staining boysenberry and cassis flavors and suggestions of candied licorice and fruitcake. Densely packed yet lively, finishing with remarkable power and smooth tannins that add shape and grip.
