Estimate
Deeply pitched black and blue fruit aromas are complemented by black cardamom and violet pastille. Spicy, smoke-tinged boysenberry and cherry compote flavors stain the palate, with a zesty mineral element contributing verve.
It exhibits fragrant notes of spring flowers, apricot marmalade, jammy black currants and cherries as well as hints of spice box and vanilla. Ripe, full-bodied, unctuously textured and gorgeously long and pure, this is a terrific offering.
Offers purity of flavor, with a firm, rigid backbone of loamy earth and chewy tannins, complemented by a wild savory side. Blackberry, black licorice, dill, anise and cedar notes form the core. Ends with rich, gravelly tannins.
