Estimate
...initially powerful and tarry, then turns more delicate in the glass and its layers of fruit begin to emerge. It is a superbly balanced wine with stunning length to match the opulence of its fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025.
Aromas of ripe plum and hints of grilled meat follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Subtle and complex. Best after 2008. 1,300 cases made. –JS
