Estimate
...exudes far more opulence and fruit intensity on the nose with red cherries, wild strawberry, hints of eucalyptus and orange blossom that is very focused and beautifully defined. The palate is full-bodied with sweet ripe tannins, crisp acidity with intense orange rind, maraschino cherry, cassis and a dab of blueberry. The finish is controlled and nicely focused...
The bouquet is a deep and complex mélange of black plums, dark berries, cigar ash, a nice touch of soil, lead pencil and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very elegant in profile, with a good core of fruit, modest tannins and fine length and grip on the reasonably complex and quite stylish finish.
