Estimate
...bouquet of Provencal herbs, roasted meats, creme de cassis, blackberries, and violets. Floral and full-bodied with a seamlessness that only old vines can provide, it possesses rich, concentrated, pure fruit, low acidity...
Extravagant, superripe nose combines strawberry, raspberry, roasted game, gingerbread and molasses. Huge and dense, with powerful extract and compellingly sweet strawberry, raspberry and spice flavors.
Lovely aromas. Elegant, offering layers of smoke, spice, plum, blackberry and leather. Full-bodied, with firm but well-integrated tannins. The finish is mouthwatering from the good, clean-tasting acidity, but a bit tough. Needs time.
