Estimate
The dark berry and iodine aromas are fascinating with bark and black tea undertones. Medium to full body, juicy fruit and a savory finish. Hints of tobacco and chocolate.
...very earthy with fallen leaves, mossy bark and damp soil notions with a core of red currants and black raspberries plus a waft of wild thyme...medium-bodied palate is firm, grainy and fresh with delicate red fruits and an earthy finish.
Offers enticing cassis, raspberry and cherry paste flavors, showing flashes of mulling spice, sweet tobacco and warm earth. The plush structure gives this a suave and accessible feel through the finish, with a perfumed hint to boot.
...has a crisp blackberry and bilberry scented bouquet with light pencil shaving aromas developing with aeration...palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a little pinched at the moment but with sufficient freshness on the finish.
Gamey nose. Big and bloody. Tannins a tad rustic but it should last well.
