Estimate
...fruit-focused and high-energy effort, lifting up with a spicy and slightly exotic display, showing sour cherry, wild strawberry, savory herbs and hints of animal musk...silky in texture with fleshy red berries further excited by juicy acids, giving way to salty minerals and pretty inner florals. Tannins saturate through the finish, yet this remains balanced throughout with a resonating note of black licorice...very impressive. Well done!
A firm, linear red with cherry, plum and hints of chocolate, as well as bark. Some fruit-tea leaves as well...full-bodied and layered, chewy and intense. Fine tannins.
The aromas recall dark-skinned fruit, underbrush and cooking spice. The concentrated palate offers dried black cherry, clove and licorice alongside dusty tannins.
Stalky, sweet cherry fruit nose with the merest hint of fruit cake and a peppery tingle. Voluptuous sweet cherry-compote palate with plenty of acidity, coating tannins and with a slight heat on the finish...certainly long.
