Estimate
Aromas of dried cherry, dark-red flower, smoked meat and black plum pudding... The palate picks up more spice in the form of star anise and gingerbread, with lingering acidity driving cranberry and vanilla flavors into the finish.
...nose of crushed blackberries, black cherries, underbrush, potpourri and red fruit sparks. Medium-bodied with a good core of earthy fruit, it has a sturdy frame and juicy freshness, finishing long and nuanced.
Smoke, licorice, leather, tobacco and incense emerge with time in the glass, adding to an impression of earthiness and gravitas.
Big and rich-tasting, with hints of sun-dried tomato to the dark plum, dried blackberry and underbrush flavors. Dried fig details show on the finish, accented by Asian spice notes.
Concentrated aromas of dark berry fruit, kirsch, black pepper and chocolate...rich fruit cake flavours.
