Estimate
... A wild, highly perfumed bouquet evokes candied dark berries, Indian spices and raw steak. Powerful, palate-staining cherry and cassis flavors are complemented by smoke and cracked pepper nuances and lifted by zesty acidity. Finishes spicy and long, with lingering floral and bitter cherry notes.
...intense nose of kirsch and raspberry preserves with touches of loam, aged meat, potpourri and a whiff of chocolate. Full bodied and harmonious on the palate, it fills the mouth with warm berry and savory flavors with a medium level of soft tannins, lively acid to enliven and good long finish.
