Estimate
Full-bodied, excruciatingly backward, and nearly impenetrable...promising nose of new saddle leather, melted asphalt, camphor, blackberries, smoky, roasted herbs, and Asian spices.
...dense, thick and sappy in the mouth, with brooding black fruit and mineral flavors and superb precision. Hints of meat and leather lurk, but, like the regular release, this is extremely backward and dominated by dark fruits...
Vivid and racy, with rich blackberry and currant fruit, lots of tar, smoke and mineral notes and a rich, sweet, chocolaty finish. Very impressive. 170 case imported.
...Very rich and reverberant with lots of sweet ripeness. But some delicacy too. Very long – really builds on the palate. Almost fragile. Still extremely youthful!
