Estimate
...a beautiful purity in its crème de cassis, violets, white chocolate, and graphite aromatics, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a lively, clean texture, integrated acidity and a great finish.
...lots of cassis, black raspberries, leafy herbs and liquid flower aromas and flavors. Rich, full-bodied, nicely concentrated and balanced, I love its purity and finesse...
Very attractive depth and ripeness... Abundant cassis, dark cherries and dark plums in terms of aromas and flavors. Nicely played oak influence adds spicy and meaty elements. Saturated in flavor.
Cool, lightly medicinal aromas of cassis, black cherry, menthol and licorice, plus a suggestion of blueberry pie. Densely packed and tightly wound, offering very dark, high-pitched flavors of cassis, blackberry, violet and bitter chocolate complicated by menthol and herbs, plus a whiff of gamey reduction... Finishes with sneaky length.
