Estimate
Black cherries, licorice, incense, tobacco, spices burst... All the elements are in perfect balance and symmetry. Game, mocha, expresso, melted road tar and cloves are some of the many notes that are woven into the enveloping finish.
Expressive aromas of ripe red cherry, black plum, shoe polish, minerals and sweet spices. Sweet, broad and rich, but with enticing fresh minerality energizing the full-bodied middle palate. The wine's ripe red cherry and berry fruit flavors are complicated by an almost decadent floral element. Finishes with wonderfully lush, fine-grained tannins and lingering elements of pepper, cocoa and flint.
A dark, compact red, with a foundation of fine tannins to the sappy blackberry, cherry pulp and damson plum fruit that's slow to shed hints of mocha, ash and espresso bean on the long finish.
