Estimate
Young and backward, with smoky dark fruits and some youthful notes of ground pepper and smoke, this beauty is full-bodied, plush, and sexy on the palate, with some serious oomph in its aromas and flavors.
Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, the wine has a deep profile, delivering a focused expression across the mid-palate. It ends with a long, lingering finish that offers up an earthy spiciness.
The juicy dark berry, spice and licorice flavors lead to a classically dry, palate-staining finish featuring broad, dusty, mouth-saturating tannins.
