Estimate
Effusive aromas and flavors of earth, cherry, licorice, mineral and spice burst from the glass here, while the dense tannins apply their grip on the finish. The contrast continues but the tannins win out for now.
...notes of black cherry, cassis and violet...rich and velvety medium-bodied flavors...borderline creamy while delivering fine depth and length on the ever-so-mildly warm finale...
...very well-defined bouquet with bright raspberry and cranberry leaf, gun flint and grey slate notes tucked in just behind... The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannin. Quite energetic in the mouth...
