Estimate
...awesome complexity in its dark currants, blackberry, and blueberry fruits as well as notes of ground pepper, crushed violets, smoke earth, and eucalyptus. Deep, full-bodied and powerful on the palate...stays perfectly balanced, has ultra-fine tannins, good acidity, and plenty of elegance...
...nose of cracked peppercorn, prosciutto, baked blackberries and blackcurrant with blue fruit hints, eucalyptus, sage, dried flowers and exotic spices. Medium-bodied, the palate is silky with restrained fruits, lightly chewy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and nuanced.
Expressive raspberry and licorice aromas open to complex but brooding blackberry, smoky pepper and underbrush accents that build tannins toward a long finish.
Dark cherry, tobacco, cedar, menthol, chocolate, licorice and dried herbs all fill out the wine's ample frame.
