Estimate
Very ripe nose melds blackberry, violet, licorice pastille, fruitcake and bitter chocolate... Dense, rich and thick, but with its volume leavened by harmonious acidity and noteworthy mineral thrust. At once powerful and penetrating, this wine finishes firm and very long, with medicinal dark berry and dark chocolate notes and ripe, well-buffered tannins.
...ample red cherry and cranberry jus on the nose, quite pure and with good intensity...palate is dense and grippy in the mouth, packed with blackberry and raspberry fruit and just a tang of spice toward the sinewy finish.
