Estimate
A rich, explosive wine...hits the palate with tremendous intensity of fruit, heady aromatics and phenomenal length. Polished, silky tannins...resonant, inky finish... What a gorgeous wine this is.
A mind-bending array of aromas come to play...with savory tones of crushed pepper, teriyaki, fresh but underripe berry fruit, piquant forest underbrush, wet chaparral and raw lamb gaminess...surprisingly light and lithe on the lovely palate, with black peppercorn, thyme, lavender and complex beef-stew notes.
...terrific notes of plums, blackberries, smoked earth, olive and assorted meatiness. Medium to full-bodied, focused, elegant and with awesome purity...
