Estimate
...notes of charcoal, asphalt, pepper, black cherries, blackcurrants, meaty notes, a big spicy, earthy, herbal richness, multi-dimensional mouthfeel and sensational concentration...
Expansive aromas of dark berry preserves, cherry-vanilla, Indian spices and cola, with a suave floral note emerging with aeration. On the palate, densely packed, palate-staining black and blue fruit flavors show a compelling blend of richness and vivacity. Closes juicy, spicy and very long, with outstanding persistence and smooth tannins that meld completely with the wine's vibrant fruit.
Grippy and somewhat subdued and tightly wound, this wine black in color and profile. Blackberry and black licorice open the proceedings, before powerful hits of black pepper. Leather and game are in the mix, too, giving the wine a wild edge.
