Estimate
Alluring notes of warm cassis, blackberry pie and fresh black cherries jump out of the glass, plus wafts of bay leaves, truffles and pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully savory with lots of herbal sparks among the black fruits and a firm, grainy frame, finishing refreshing.
...mineral-laced, red and blue-fruited...lead pencil and earthy nuances. With nicely integrated oak, medium to full-bodied richness, and notable tannins...
...offers plenty of initial impact, but then loses much of its persistence on the mid-palate and finish.
