Estimate
High-toned, elegant and pure with anise and lovely red pinot fruit aromas of impressive complexity followed by round, rich and powerful flavors that are clearly very concentrated and very firmly structured with a chewy and robust texture...
...impressively rich and deep, with a strong spice component. Finishes with substantial ripe, fine-grained tannins; superb breadth; and mounting, spicy persistence.
Lush and evoking black cherry, blackberry and sandalwood aromas and flavors backed by firm tannins. It's a bit tough on the finish now, but this shows potential.
