Estimate
Beautiful. Full-bodied, ripe and smoky. Distinct oak accents mingle with black fruit. A complex, dark-colored red. Delivers lots of floral notes on the long, smooth finish. Drink now through 2009.
Thick, dense black Gevrey fruit with a solidly complex, slightly austere flavor profile and outstanding richness on the exceptionally long finish... the complexity has really come up... seems very promising for the medium term.
...aromatic nose of black raspberry, gunflint, smoke and earth. Sweet and stylish, with subtly aromatic inner-mouth flavors of underbrush, earth and game. Comes across as vinous and delineated despite the measurably low acidity.
