Estimate
Black currants, crushed rocks, graphite, and lead pencil notes...incredible minerality and depth.
...notes of warm blackcurrants, dried mulberries and wild blueberries with hints of plum pudding, spice box, cardamom, wood smoke, black pepper and hoisin. Full-bodied and tightly wound in the mouth, the fruit vibrates with compelling energy and a firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins with just enough freshness, finishing long and minerally.
Racy and pliant, with tremendous intensity...quite big, and yet all the elements are impeccably balanced...striking aromatic complexity and layered fruit for such a big wine, with tannins that are both prominent and yet very well polished.
