Estimate
Aromas of red licorice with green olives, sage bush and plums. Full body, chewy and round tannins. Lots of fruit. Structured.
...aromatically very pure and complex, with fine, polished tannins...strong personality. It develops some fennel, licorice and aniseed aromas, displaying its Mediterranean side with time...
The nose delivers an array of ripe red fruit and floral scents, along with hints of allspice, pipe tobacco and smoky minerals. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering gently sweet, concentrated black raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors...finishes spicy and very long, with supple tannins building slowly and adding grip.
Fragrantly ripe with some spice and dried fruits but in no way overripe. Powder-fine tannins, dry and delicious in its tannic finesse and that dry freshness. All about texture here but not lacking fruit.
