Estimate
...stunning bouquet of cassis and black currants intermixed with lots of smoked tobacco, earth, and scorched earth. It's deep, powerful, full-bodied, and tannic, yet has loads of fruit and texture.
Graphite, grilled herbs, menthol, sage, licorice and lavender add to the wine's brooding, virile feel. This is a strong showing.
Full-bodied, firm and taut, it has a lovely backbone of seamless freshness lending definition to the muscular palate, finishing with impressively long-lasting savory and spice layers.
