Estimate
This is packed with dark fig and blackberry paste flavors that roll through slowly but steadily, unveiling extra dark olive, sweet bay leaf, singed alder and juniper accents along the way.
Fragrant, spice-tinged aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, candied violet, olive and baking spices. Smooth and broad in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, boysenberry and allspice flavors that tighten up slowly with air and show fine delineation. The blue fruit and floral notes drive a long, juicy finish that's shaped by fine-grained, slow-building tannins.
Up-front plum, blackberry, and blueberry fruits, graphite, and peppery herbs all emerge from the glass, and this medium to full-bodied beauty offers a wealth of fruit, no hard edges, and a great finish.
...concentrated notes of salted licorice, violets and cassis... Full-bodied and concentrated, it's richly textured and tannic, with ample fruit to balance things out and a long, velvety finish.
