Estimate
...full-bodied, concentrated, sexy style as well as terrific notes of mulled black cherries, blueberries, incense, dried herbs, and earth.
Muscular and dense... Black cherry and currant flavors are backed by espresso, licorice and tarry notes, supported by firm tannins and racy acidity. Big yet lively, harmonious and deep.
Powerfully scented cherry liqueur, blackberry, potpourri, vanilla and licorice scents are brightened by a smoky mineral overtone. Broad, sweet and fleshy in the mouth, offering ripe, deeply concentrated black and blue fruit preserve, violet pastille and mocha flavors... In a distinctly powerful style, showing strong, floral-driven persistence and polished tannins that sneak in late.
Blackberry, oyster-shell, tobacco and clove aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Polished and concentrated, yet fresh.
Outright raisiny aromas... Extracted cassis and blackberry flavors are at maximum plus on the ripeness meter, while this tastes rich and chocolaty on a hulking finish.
