Estimate
Plush, deep and totally seductive. Layers of dark stone fruit, mocha, chocolate, new leather and spice …. opulent, rich personality. Raspberry jam, cinnamon, mint and rose petal notes infuse the creamy, voluptuous finish.
A toasty, muscular style, with a ganache edge pulling plum skin, fig paste and currant preserve flavors along and eventually catching up. A loamy spine and a flash of tobacco give the finish direction.
A firm and tight red with plum, berry and chocolate character. Structured and juicy. Medium to full body. A savory finish. Needs two or three years to soften. .
A rich and opulent bouquet with plush blueberry and crème de cassis fruit, violets tucked just behind. The palate is full-bodied with dense but not jammy black fruit, quite structured with a dash of spice towards the powerful finish.
