Estimate
Deeply perfumed, oak-tinged cherry and dark berry preserve aromas... Plush, broad and appealingly sweet, offering lush blackberry, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors and a spicy nuance that builds with aeration. The extremely long, finish echoes the spicy note and features velvety tannins and a hint of espresso.
Vanilla and baking spices accent blackberry and mulberry fruit on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is ripe and creamy, supple and richly concentrated through the long, soft finish.
A bold array of warm red plums with sappy, bracken and oak-spice notes that add complexity. The palate has a very rich core of supple but dense, red-berry and plum flavor, wrapped in sturdy, rich tannin.
Pure cherry and raspberry flavors are succulent and smooth, with pops of toffee, milk chocolate and baking spices on a supple frame. Amazingly smooth and seamless on the long, spicy finish.
