Estimate
Juicy, fresh and nicely compact, with sleek iron along the edges of a core of steeped plum and cassis fruit flavors. Subtle tugs of savory, tobacco and cedar through the finish, with a last, lingering perfumed whiff of dark tea.
...tannins are savory and very ripe with beauty and purity. Full-bodied, chewy tannins and a long and intense finish.
...wonderful purity as well as loads of ripe blackberry and currant fruits, medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful aromas and flavors of graphite, cedarwood, and tobacco, building yet polished tannins, background oak, and a great finish.
...notes of dark chocolate, crème de cassis, blueberry pie and anise with waves of raspberry pie, lavender and Indian spices. Full, very tightly would and jam-packed with layers of crunchy black and blue fruits, it has a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins and compelling freshness, finishing long with a mineral hint coming through.
Plump and juicy in feel...possesses quite a bit of creaminess in its inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice and leather.
...exotic spice on the nose. Rich start melds into massive tannic structure.
