Estimate
...aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, incense, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, it is plush, bordering on Reubenesque, with loads of savory, spicy black fruit...
Pungent, spicy blackberry and cherry-vanilla on the nose, with sexy potpourri and smoky mineral elements... Deep, sweet dark fruit flavors coat the palate and are firmed by a zesty mineral quality. The floral and spice notes build on the finish, which delivers impressive punch and shows no rough edges. Already quite suave and complex.
Fragrant and gently floral dark fruit but more blueberry than cassis. Sweet vanilla/caramel overlay. Rich, thick pile tannins, dry firm tannins.
