Estimate
There's a nice charcoal note driving this from the start...dark plum, blackberry and black currant fruit... Ganache, licorice snap and tobacco fill in the finish and give this added range, while a singed alder wood note runs underneath for added texture and length. Impressive.
Wonderful aromas of black truffles and berries with hints of wet earth. Full body, with velvety tannins and a rich and chewy finish.
...notes of jammy black cherries, black currants, licorice, camphor, underbrush and some subtle vanillin...full-bodied, voluptuously textured and rich, with good acidity, surprising freshness and laser-like definition given its ampleness and length...beautiful fruit...
Raspberry, violet, mocha and a hint of smoky torrefaction on the nose. Dense, sweet and creamy, with red cherry and berry flavors lifted by a floral component. Finishes sweet and pure, with fine tannins, very good length and a persistent hint of coffee.
Hint of soap and greenness on the nose. Sweet and polished... hick and smooth, then tart on the finish... Very sweet and confected. Even a bit of cocoa, then very chewy and dry on the end. Drying finish.
