Estimate
...classic notes of cedar and lead pencil shavings...back currants and licorice...full-bodied mouthfeel with fabulous precision and density...long, silky finish with moderately high tannins...should drink beautifully for 30+ years.
A wine with an intense sous bois, fresh tobacco and dried flower character on the nose and palate. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and an attractive finish.
Well-polished, with sleek edges to the fleshy plum, cassis and blackberry fruit...finish is embedded with black licorice and violet notes. Approachable now, but the stuffing is there to cellar this for a bit. Drink now through 2025.
Delicately sweet dark fruit. Hint of blueberry and vanilla. Then drier and less obvious on the palate. Fine grained and unexpectedly juicy on the finish. (JH)
