Estimate
This velvety-textured effort is crammed with blackberries, black cherries, cassis, and sappy red fruits. Concentrated, fleshy, and long in the finish, it reveals a long, seamless, spicy finish.
Superripe and fine-grained, with less pronounced sweetness than some of these 2003s. Notes of black fruits, mocha, herbs and earth.
...violet and plum notes that are followed by gorgeously complex, sweet and borderline massive flavors underpinned by very prominent firm yet fine tannins plus a finish that goes on seemingly forever. Wow...
