Estimate
Dark fruit flavors of black currant and blackberry grace this velvety red, whose dusty tannins and acidity keep it focused and lingering. Balanced in a large-scaled way...
...lovely intensity in its dark fruit, licorice, menthol and sweet spices...captures the essence of the vintage, especially in its open, textured finish.
...aromas of black cherry, minerals, menthol and licorice, plus a whiff of meat. Silky and chocolatey...middle-palate stuffing to support its broad, ripe tannins.
Serious stuff. Firm... Dry finish but the fruit is sufficient for the structure.
