Estimate
Magnificent...best ever...developing gradually to end in a long, long finish of leather, tobacco & cocoa powder...enchants right from the start...a complex nose lifted by well integrated oak...an imposing palate with long, silky tannins.
The nose offers scents of smoky charcoal, licorice, pain grille, black cherries, incense, tobacco, and leather. Full-bodied and massive, with superb balance, nicely integrated acidity and tannin..
Delicious, with loads of rose petal, raspberry and passion fruit on the nose and palate. Full, round and soft, caressing the palate. Very tight and reserved. Just starting to come around.
Sappy, liqueur-like aromas of currant and cherry, lifted by a floral perfume and a suggestion of white truffle. Already shows wonderful inner-mouth aromatics and sweetness..
