Estimate
A flashy style, with red licorice and warm fruitcake notes backed by flavors of plum sauce and boysenberry preserves. Singed apple wood and licorice details fuel the finish.
...loads of upfront fruit, texture and richness in its fruity, ripe style. Giving up plenty of darker fruits, old leather and damp herbs...medium to full-bodied...
...exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, lavender and garrigue, with a smoky nuance adding complexity. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering sweet blueberry and cherry compote flavors... Finishes juicy, supple and long, with sneaky tannins adding shape and folding smoothly into the wine's fruit.
Lots of gaminess. Sweet and rich...just a tad sticky but well intentioned despite the dryness on the finish.
