Estimate
Aromas of mint, dark berries and black olives follow through to a medium to full body with lightly chewy and layered tannins that are long and focused. Lots of black-olive and conifer undertones... Very long.
More blackcurrants, black cherries, mulberries, graphite, crushed stone, lead pencil, and tobacco notes define the nose, and it's full-bodied, with an incredible depth of fruit and richness on the mid-palate, building tannins, and a great finish.
...notes of plum preserves, baked black cherries and crème de cassis, plus nuances of pencil shavings, bouquet garni, crushed rocks and unsmoked cigars with a touch of cardamom...palate is full-bodied and seductively rich, delivering mouth-coating black and blue fruit preserves with loads of exotic spice accents and a velvety texture, finishing long with a refreshing herbal lift.
...dense plum, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors...with licorice root, warm earth, menthol and roasted alder notes playing an equal part. Everything melds steadily through the long, smoldering finish.
...silky, perfumed personality. Blackberry, blueberry, lavender, spice and mint all build in the glass...stands out for its freshness and verve. Inky dark fruit, graphite, menthol and licorice linger...
