Estimate
Dried cherry and cranberry tinged with ginger, white pepper, clove and resin make for a penetrating and pungent nose... The tartness of its red berries and tactile impingement of its spicy elements make for a similarly audacious palate presentation, which an emerging aura of holly berry distillate only encourages. The gripping, invigorating finish retains a welcome measure of refreshing primary juiciness.
... Smoky aromas of dark berry preserves, potpourri and musky underbrush, with a zesty mineral underpinning. Fleshy black raspberry and mulberry flavors are energized by Asian spice and cracked pepper qualities. Finishes on a long, sweet note of tangy dark berries, with excellent clarity and lift. Nicely balanced.
