Estimate
Aromas of oak-spiced dark berries, cherry liqueur, pipe tobacco and smoky minerals, with a peppery flourish adding lift. Offers deep black and blue fruit preserve, mocha and floral pastille flavors and shows impressive energy for their depth. Bitter chocolate and vanilla notes emerge on a very long, sweet and subtly tannic finish that echoes the cherry and smoke notes.
Spicy and complex on the nose and very much a showcase of ripeness that delivers a rich roasted blackberry fruit nose. The palate has density, depth and long, fluid tannins that carry dark plum and chocolate flavors. Massive.
Tremendous meat, smoke and dark plum jam aromas. Compelling, vital aroma – so concentrated, yet so broad and fragrant.
