Estimate
...packed with layers of dense backward dark fruit, prune, plum and macerated cherry flavors, with a distinctly mentholated note that gives it a sense of freshness and balance.
Intense aromas of licorice, berries and tobacco with just a hint of citrus. Full-bodied, with an excellent intensity of fruit and a long, silky finish. Juicy and rich.
Complex, lively nose melds cassis, blackberry, violet, minerals and spicy oak. Silky and suave on entry, then strong and dense in the middle, with flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and menthol.
...Leather and tar on the nose and yet at the same time perfumed with violets. On the palate, rich, ripe and spicy.
...lives up to its good name. We can't really ask any more of a wine that shows finesse, elegance and length through a complex, multilayered nose and an approachable, succulent palate.
