Estimate
Elegant and richly spiced, with plush flavors of dark plum, blackberry and boysenberry, flanked by plenty of dark chocolate notes. The midpalate oozes with tar, black olive and cocoa powder elements, and the tannic finish is rich with Asian spice and forest floor hints.
Very ripe, deep, brooding aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, mocha and game, with complementary oak tones... The flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, wild herbs, pepper and spices are plush and broad but energetic too; wonderfully ripe, glossy Cabernet Sauvignon here.
...aromas of sawdust, vanilla and jammy black fruits. Interestingly, it is somewhat sharp and shrill on the palate, with lively acidity. Flavors of raw oak, coconut, vanilla and blackberry finish savory and briny, with shearing acids and choppy tannins.
