Estimate
Tightly wound, with spicy, licorice-accented blackberry flavors playing against fine, firm tannins. The finish lingers easily.
...attractive bouquet with blackcurrant, raspberry, damp moss and a touch of wild mushroom... The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin, crisp red fruit with sea salt and a touch of licorice, more spicy notes such as cumin and bay leaf towards the finish...
... Candied blackberry and cherry-vanilla on the nose, with notes of potpourri and allspice adding complexity. Deeply pitched dark fruit flavors show surprising energy and gain spiciness on the back half. Quite suave and velvety, with alluring oak spice notes that carry through a long, sweet, subtly smoky finish...
Full, forward and loaded with ripe strawberry and cherry flavors...offers plenty of fruit and spice. It's almost chunky it's so big, with a lick of chocolate highlighting the finish.
