Estimate
Broad and creamy, with plum, boysenberry and blackberry fruit carried by seamless, polished structure...strong graphite spine that strides through the finish and lovely flecks of anise and black tea hanging in the background for added range.
Wonderful charming nose with wild strawberries, milk chocolate and raspberries. Opens up with eucalyptus and licorice. So soft and velvety on the palate with a beautiful finesse-driven texture. Full and with silky tannins. Long and very enjoyable.
...great density...dark and chunky character...great swathes of fruit surge through the tannins, bringing out black-currant-juice flavors.
...opulent notes. Fresh and perfumed. Real floral vigour to this. Well mannered...well balanced.
