Estimate
...incredible aromatics of caramelized red and blue fruits, classy oak, lead pencil shavings, and a Latour-like sense of minerality, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a great, great finish.
...wildly expressive, blending sweet lavender and dark chocolate with crushed wild berries and the slightest hint of white pepper. Soft and supple, with nearly creamy textures and brilliant acidity to balance, it opens with a thrust of minerality before giving way to orange-tinged red and black fruits. Long, potent and structured...finishes spicy, with silty tannins that tug at the cheeks as a pleasantly bitter tinge adds lovely punctuation.
