Estimate
...very pretty... Rose petal, cedar, mint, tobacco and sweet red berry fruit all lift from the glass...lovely energy and brightness...all the elements are so nicely balanced. Bright floral and spice notes linger nicely on the finish.
...plum preserves, baked black cherries and blackberry compote notes plus hints of spice cake, Christmas pudding and Chinese five spice with a touch of licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is oh-so-soft and plush, coating the mouth with spicy black fruit preserves, finishing long with a peppery kick.
Loads of ripe red plum, blackcurrants, toasted spice, dried herbs, chocolate, and loamy earth emerge from the glass and it's medium to full-bodied, has building tannins, and a great finish.
