Estimate
...full and moderately wooded full-bodied flavors that are notably powerful and supported by very firm tannins on the serious, long and backward finish.
Quite closed on the nose, hinting at smoked meat and botanical herbs; smells drier than the Latricieres. Then wild on the palate but less expressive, with some cherry and raspberry perfume emerging with aeration.
Nervy nose. Satin texture - very polished. Bitter plums on the finish. Definite bitters but a racy wine with some real breeding. Very juicy.
