Estimate
A generous 2011, with a measure of flesh and suppleness, featuring creamy oak and mocha notes woven amid tight, snappy dark berry, dried herb, sage and cedar flavors. Very complete and focused, ending with chewy tannins.
Offers an attractive blackberry-scented bouquet as well as jammy sweet fruit. I was surprised by the degree of ripeness, richness and personality it possessed for a 2011.
