Estimate
Beautiful dark fruits of crushed raspberries and blueberries plus hints of champignon mushrooms and black truffles. Lavender undertones. Full and chewy with lots of tannins.
...bouquet is laced with mineral and iodine-like nuances with rust and iron. It comes across as rich and intense and the mouthfeel is slightly softer, but denser overall...ends with long balsam tones of rosemary and dried ginger.
This packs some vanilla- and Bourbon-scented oak aromas, with a core of cherry, leather, tar, iron and tobacco flavors. Solidly built, with dusty tannins clinging to the long finish.
Beautifully perfumed and almost opulent nose. Bags of spice and Marasca cherry...fruit palate packed with firm tannins and mouth-filling aromatics...juicy cherry fruit keeps up effortlessly. Gorgeous.
