Estimate
Blackcurrants, black cherries, ripe raspberries and tar. Some graphite, too...full-bodied and very plush with crushed tannins and an airy mouth-feel. Just floats across the palate. So fine. It has a second finish at the end, where the tannins emerge at the front of the palate. Quite unique.
...fabulous. Deep and vertical...possesses tremendous richness and pure power. A seamless, layered wine... Crème de cassis, lavender, licorice and cloves...
...compelling spice notes of cinnamon stick, cloves and cumin seed, followed by a gorgeous core of warm cassis, blackberry pie and stewed plums plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves with a firm yet plush texture and loads of freshness, finishing long and spicy.
