Estimate
Smashing aromas in this wine, with crushed berries and Indian spices. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a lovely fruity, spicy, cinnamon finish.
Brooding but thoroughly ripe nose of redcurrant, plum, tobacco, smoke, mocha and camphor. Sweet, full, concentrated and lush; more mouthfilling today than the Luciani. Finishes with big, rich, ripe tannins and superb persistence.
...impresses with its power both on the nose and on the palate, a blast of leather, oak spices, and kirsch, well concentrated and intense in its flavors, slightly backward in its tannins and in need of time.
