Estimate
Full-bodied, ripe, powerful, and opulent, it still holds onto a beautiful sense of elegance and purity. With loads of currant and cassis-like fruits, plenty of tobacco, chocolate, and licorice, a stacked mid-palate, and a great finish...
Exhibits an intense, full-bodied mix of gravelly dark berry, herb, cedar, sage and underbrush flavors. A savory quality lingers on the aftertaste.
...exhibits smoky charcoal embers intermixed with red and blackcurrants, a touch of tobacco leaf and underbrush. The wine is medium-bodied with silky tannins, excellent purity and length.
