Estimate
Powerful, smoke- and spice-accented aromas of raspberry liqueur, spicecake and rose pastille are enlivened by a zesty mineral quality. Fleshy, deeply concentrated red and dark berry flavors show surprising vivacity, and notes of cola, candied flowers and Indian spices emerge with aeration. Finishes sweet, seamless and extremely long, delivering resonating spiciness, harmonious tannins and a subtle smoky touch.
...nose of kirsch, warm cranberries and mulberries with hints of violets, dried herbs, cedar box and underbrush. Medium-bodied, finely constructed and with great intensity in the mouth, it has a solid foundation of chewy tannins with some oak poking through on the long finish.
