Estimate
...black/purple color, a fabulous, sweet, pure, cassis-scented nose, massive body and richness, and total harmony among its components - fruit, wood, alcohol, acidity, and tannin.
...youthful core of juicy black cherry and plum flavors and, while it remains firmly tannic and potent, the finish is long and complex. Enjoy now or can be cellared--perhaps up to another decade.
Very expressive, Graves-like aromas of roasted plums, hot bricks and tobacco...Soft and accessible.
