Estimate
Licorice and smoky blackberry aromas combine with dense, potent flavors of black raspberry, loamy mineral and pepper beef. The tannins are muscular but ripe.
Intense dark berry and floral pastille aromas are lifted and sharpened by a zesty mineral nuance. Sappy, focused and pure, showing very good heft to its spicy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors. Picks up a smoky quality with air that carries through a long, pure, focused finish featuring light, fine-grained tannins.
...black fruits, with lots of tobacco leaf, peppery herbs and cured meats giving way to a full-bodied, big, ripe, heady wine that has a touch of savory, rustic tannin on the finish.
