Estimate
What power and drama have gone into this wonderful wine. Sheer Pomerol, with pencil shaving, black cherry, cedar, chocolate and gamy-meaty aromas and flavors, tinged with violets, and the most voluptuous mouthfeel...
...great fruit, medium to full body, and perfectly assimilated wood, acidity, tannin, and alcohol.
...Explosive aromas... ...Great sappy sweetness... ...crystallized dark berries. Very long, powerful finish...
A rich, sensual, complex and concentrated wine, with layers of brown sugar, mocha, red currant and spicy herbal notes, it gains momentum and richness on the finish. Has the tannic strength to cellar short-term.
