Estimate
...sensational notes of black cherries, beef blood, licorice and crushed rock. Medium to full-bodied, structured, concentrated and layered...
Heady, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh black and blue fruits, candied violet and olive, along with a hint of cola that builds in the background. Sweet, sharply delineated cassis and blueberry flavors turn deeper and smokier with air. Nicely concentrated but displays real energy thanks to a spine of smoky minerality. Finishes sappy, focused and impressively long, featuring rounded tannins and a lingering floral note.
Real excitement and tension on the nose and then on the palate good fruit density almost masks the (substantial) tannin.
