Estimate
This shows so much ripe fruit and berry character with just the right hint of lead pencil and spice. Full-bodied and very chewy.
Sweet, jammy creme de cassis notes intermixed with roasted herbs, smoked meats, and chocolate. Although ripe, dense, full-bodied, and moderately tannic, it is silky.
Expressive aromas of redcurrant, mocha, tobacco, minerals, grilled meat and cigar box. Big, rich, lush and sweet.
Powerfully structured, with great depth and huge, ripe fruit, along with a muscular freshness of both fruit and tannins.
