Estimate
Cassis, blackberry, licorice and violet on the nose, complicated by coffee and chocolate; slightly port-like. Then dense and compellingly sweet, with an enticing sugar/acid balance and firm tannic backbone.
...beautiful aromas of melted licorice, sweet new saddle leather, roasted herbs, creme de cassis, and spice box. Elegant yet authoritatively flavored with superb fruit, beautiful balance, and supple tannin...
Ripe, rich and vivid, with intense blueberry and wild berry flavors that are tight and focused, revealing a dense, loamy core of currant fruit that provides a supple baseline of flavor and texture. 250 cases made.
