Estimate
Red cherry is followed by blue flower, crushed stone, spice and grilled herb. I also notice a very pretty menthol or balsamic aroma that gives lift and intensity to the bouquet. There's a touch of crushed limestone minerality too.
Oak, underbrush, hazelnut and porcini mushroom aromas mingle with plum, herb and vanilla. Tight and concentrated, the assertive palate offers black cherry, mocha and licorice while close-grained tannins leave a drying finish.
...More spicy than fruity on the nose. Intense and aromatic cherry fruit palate with a core of chewy tannins and supple acidity on the finish...
