Estimate
A big, rich, yet brooding ‘09 red, with a hint of animal to the plum, cherry, currant and spice flavors that butt up against the massive, though not overly obtrusive, tannins. Compact now.
...quite floral with a ripe and somber nose of earthy liqueur-like aromas that give way to exceptionally rich, intense and full-bodied flavors that possess fine complexity and excellent length.
...Subtle floral notes meld into red fruit in this feminine, subtle wine. This shows good energy and fine balance...
