Estimate
...black and blue berry preserves and bursts of licorice, earth, dark chocolate and mint leaves...full-bodied palate is firm but ripe, and it finishes a bit youthfully wound.
...big, opulent nose of smoked black fruits, black licorice, pot roast, and peppered meat-like aromas and flavors...deep, powerful, inky colored effort stays balanced and relatively light on its feet and has a stacked mid-palate as well as a great finish.
Aromas of espresso roast, dark fruit, grilled plum and peppery meats lead into a viscous palate with firm tannins. Dark plum, caramel and nutmeg flavors make for a powerful sip.
