Estimate
Earthy aromas of bark, sand, truffles, graphite, rust, terracotta and sandalwood...fruitier orange zest and preserved lemons glimmer in their wake, while riper incense and tar lurk in this dense forest of aromas... There’s such richness to the center palate, but the fruit there is vivacious and elegant, swaddled in robust but generous tannins that breach the outermost reaches of the mouth. The finish is hauntingly long, the after effects of the acidity unworldly.
...intense flavors of black cherry, plum, violet, stony mineral and wild herbs...lingering, salty aftertaste.
...crushed black cherry, savory herbs, leather, and spice. On the palate, soft, fleshy textures usher in ripe cherry fruits, offset by a mix of brisk acids and saturating minerals, as hints of exotic spice buzz upon the senses, leaving a coating of fine tannin in their wake....finish is long and structured...hint of dried black cherry, minerals, and spice linger.
