Estimate
Darker tonalities of fruit... Mint, spices, new leather & flowers... Hints of lavender, smoke, violets, smoke and dark red/bluish fruits add the final layers of nuance. Huge, voluptuous and inviting, the 2012 hits all the right notes.
An intense red, brimming with rich, juicy tiers of red and dark fruit, supported by firm, gripping tannins. The core flavors of blueberry and wild berry are well-focused. The tannins are a bit rangy now, but the finish is pure.
