Estimate
This is impressive, from its burst of pure blackberry flavor shaded by spice and mineral to its balance and sophistication. It's silky in texture and builds on the palate to a long finish.
...brooding nose of ripe and distinctly earth red pinot fruit plus a touch of animale that merges seamlessly into textured, powerful and pure big-bodied flavors...
...with cooked raspberry, black licorice, wild mushrooms, and wet stones. The sweetness is wonderfully savory...
Sweet, rich, full and fine-grained, with lovely purity and juicy lift to its dense dark fruit flavors.
Masses of sweetness and still a bit of dusty tannin and introspection. There is so much here...
