Estimate
Juicy and nicely layered, with fig paste, plum sauce, briar, espresso bean and bittersweet cocoa notes backed by iron and grilled herb hints on the fleshy, driven finish. Has superb length.
...offers classic, fully mature notes of spiced meats, leather, peppery herbs and licorice in a medium to full-bodied, rounded, beautifully textured style. It possesses excellent ripeness and the rounded, supple character that makes this vintage such a joy to drink.
Ripe cherry and cassis on the nose, complicated by licorice, olive and violet. Textbook syrah on the palate too, offering flavors of sweet red and dark berries, olive tapenade and candied flowers. Becomes spicier on the nervy, precise, long finish.
