Estimate
...sexy nose with notions of graphite, aniseed, black tea leaf and cedar with baked black cherries, cranberries, garrigue, warm earth and red berry hints plus notes of dried herbs and charcuterie...palate is light to medium-bodied, silky, intense and savory, with finely woven grainy tannins and juicy acidity, blossoming with flavor layers on the very long finish.
Polished and refined, but with tons of power...there is plenty of substance and tons of character, too. Bright red/purplish berry fruit, spice, mint and blood orange open up in the glass...
...deep, dense, powerful wine...lifted notes of plums and darker cherry fruits intermixed with subtle iron, spice, and earthy notes...medium to full body, a rounded, layered texture, and ripe tannins...
