Estimate
...aromas of cherries, licorice, wild berries and sweet soil tones...medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with an especially seamless, integrated profile. Framed by powdery tannins and mouthwatering acids, it's a real success.
Equally ripe and attractively layered aromas include those of black fruit confit, spice and a similar note of warm earth are also trimmed in enough wood to remark upon. The finer if less powerful medium-bodied flavors are supported by relatively fine-grained tannins and bright acidity on the youthfully austere and balanced finale that exhibits focused power.
The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry and a fine bead of acidity. The precise, chalky-textured finish compensates for the aromatics.
