Estimate
....deep, healthy colour; perfect nose, flavour, balance and length. Complete. Faultless.
...revealing vivacious red berry fruit, graphite, juniper and dried orange peel...wondrously detailed and demonstrates more presence...gaining intensity and confidence with aeration...palate is simply divine: luscious and pure red cherry and strawberry fruit, filigree tannin, perfectly judged acidity and a harmonious, exquisitely structured finish...
...incredibly thick and rich with aromas and flavors of coffee, chocolate, dark fruit and shiitake mushrooms. Full body, velvety tannins and solid, solid fruit. Long and impressive finish.
It remains tannic, but its extraordinary perfume of smoked meats, dried herbs, cedar, black fruits, underbrush, and leather is seductive. It is full-bodied, with a sweet, intense mid-palate, plenty of power, and decades of life remaining.
Pretty, racy and fine. Shows rich aromas of cherries, minerals and currants. Full-bodied, with lovely ripe fruit, silky tannins and a long finish. A beauty.
