Estimate
Very full colour. Rich, fat, concentrated nose. Full body. Backward. Tannic. Very youthful. Excellent grip. This got better and better in the glass. Splendid fruit and a very lovely finish. (2008)
Ripe, smoky, expressive aromas of musky raspberry, minerals, spices, mocha and game. Large-scaled, full, silky and seamless; boasts a chocolatey ripeness... Finishes very long and very ripe, with lush tannins that dust the entire palate.
A potent but very reserved, indeed almost backward mix of wood spice, Vosne spice, earth, smoke, animale and gorgeous black berry fruit aromas blend into rich, full and wonderfully deep flavors that are supple and not as concentrated...
