Estimate
Firm, dense and concentrated dark fruit essences of plum reduction, cherry compote and crème de cassis with hints of lavender liqueur and bitter dark chocolate... Full-bodied, rich and generous, the palate is chewy with layers of complexity... Firm tannins grow across the mid-palate before turning to a long, winding and evolving finish with persistent flavors of spiced plums and blackberry reduction.
Lots of dark currant and plum fruits as well as tobacco, damp earth, and violet notes...medium to full-bodied on the palate, with ripe tannins and terrific overall balance.
