Estimate
...unfurling in the glass with notes of violets, plums, wild berries and smoked meats. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a richly fleshy but fresh core of fruit that entirely conceals its fine structuring tannins, concluding with a long and complex finish.
Expansive, spice-accented black raspberry, cherry, licorice and potpourri scents, along with an exotic incense nuance and a hint of smoky minerality and cured meat. Broad and seamless in texture, showing impressive depth as well as energy to the black and blue fruit, cherry liqueur and spicecake flavors. Finishes strikingly long and smooth, with discreet tannins and resonating violet, allspice and game notes.
