Estimate
Everything is correctly proportioned in this cherry-, leather- and tobacco-flavored wine. Shows a hint of oak spice. Firm grip plies the fresh, lingering finish.
Dark cherry and wild blackberry segue spice, leather, cola and licorice.
Like a dark, rich cherry sauce fresh off the stove, mixed with grilled sage, coffee grinds, cocoa and shavings of cedar...silky contours wash across the palate in a display of pure elegance, delivering masses of mineral-tinged berries and savory spices, all nicely contrasted by a twang of sour citrus.
Some light leather and cedary oak with spiced red cherries and dried herbs. The palate has a very supple, fine array of tannins that carry ripe red cherry flavors long and even. A very smooth finish.
Balsamic aromas of menthol and eucalyptus merge with roasted coffee bean and a whiff of blue flower. The taut polished palate shows dried cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and espresso alongside fine-grained tannins.
