Estimate
This is fruit-forward style with lots of plum and hints of spice. Some dried mushroom. Full body with round, velvety tannins and bright acidity.
Shows a broad, toasty frame, with cedar, dried anise and singed cinnamon notes around a core of steeped black cherry and blackberry coulis flavors. The smoky finish lets the fruit echo a hint of sweet earth.
...rich, opulent bouquet with macerated small red cherries, fresh fig, copper piping and a touch of citrus lemon...palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins on the entry matched by crisp acidity...appreciable density here with decent length and a touch of Chinese five spice lining the red berry fruit toward the finish.
