Estimate
...aromatically complex, with layers of savory charcuterie, leather, fried sage and thyme over rich Morello cherry fruit...boisterous and structurally supple, it offers layer after layer of savory fruit and finishes very long and spicy.
Elegantly layered aromas of cassis, violet, caramel and maple are rich on the nose... Polished tannins envelop the palate, which is packed with dark red and purple fruit, creamy milk chocolate and spice-rack flavors.
...bright blue and darker berry fruits, supported by ground pepper, violets, and some meaty notes. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, with ripe tannins...wonderful purity and balance.
