Estimate
Pungent aromas of dark berry preserves, cherry pit, olive tapenade and mocha, with a smoky overtone. Broad dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors display very good depth and surprising energy, picking up spiciness with air. The long, sappy finish features slow-building tannins and a hint of candied licorice.
Firm, intense and spicy, with rich blackberry, hot brick, cedar, graphite and sage notes. Full-bodied and tannic, combining to give the flavors traction and depth.
