Estimate
This is firm and full of ripe black fruits, which are set against even blacker notes of graphite and coffee. The tannins carry a lightly earthy streak, and aging in 50% new French oak brings in a nutty, toasty resonance to the finish.
Deeply perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented cherry, dark berry and floral oil scents, with a hint of licorice that emerges with air. Palate-staining black raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors become sweeter and more lively with air. Shows very good energy and solid thrust on the finish, which features lingering vanilla and spice qualities and smooth, polished tannins.
