Estimate
Dark, rich and chewy, with a potent core of complex, earthy mineral, currant, cedar, spice and tar notes. Sharply focused, with wonderful balance and finesse, it shows the tannic strength for short-term cellaring.
Vinous aromas of black- and redcurrant, tobacco and loam. Finishes with sweet tannins and a subtle whiplash of red berry flavor. Quite graceful for a '96 cabernet.
