Estimate
It's graceful and complex, lightly peppery, with plum and cherry flavors at the core. The balance and length are superb.
A polished, supple style that lets its tarry blackberry and cream flavors cascade against silky tannins, lingering on the expressive finish.
Aromas of blackberry, licorice, smoke, pepper and game show a distinct liqueur-like quality. Suave and viscous on the palate, but with nicely integrated acidity giving shape to the flavors of blackberry, violet and gunflint. Finishes with smooth tannins and very good length.
