Estimate
This is a powerful wine with fabulous aromas and flavors of black truffles, dried meat, spices and very ripe fruit. Hot stones, too. Full body, chewy tannins, yet this is polished and pretty. Velvety texture.
On the toasty, more modern side of the spectrum, with ambitious roasted fig, apple wood and blueberry confiture notes followed by racy graphite, espresso and blackberry pâté de fruit. Not shy, but has the density for balance.
Elegant, with loads of black currant fruit, cherries and dusty, loamy soil notes as well as hints of tobacco leaf, spice box and cedar, it is a medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, fleshy wine that should drink nicely for 10-15+ years.
