Estimate
Fruit is dark, deep and massively constituted, yet there are no unusually hard edges or dry tannins whatsoever. ... dark and opulent, yet also impeccable in its balance, especially for a scorching hot year.
... presents a gorgeously ripe, jammy nose along with licorice, cassis, smoke, earthiness, grilled herbs and sweet dark fruit nuances that flow from the glass. Full-bodied and long on the palate...
Decadent and powerful, with lots of berry, licorice and cedar aromas and flavors. Full and rich, with lots of sweet fruit and a silky, caressing palate. Gorgeous.
