Estimate
A beautifully expressive, well delineated bouquet redolent of sweet herbs, spices, flowers and dark fruit wafts from the glass.
...captivating tangy red fruit and soil flavors offering considerable early sex appeal. I'd call this a fruit bomb, but it has the underlying firm but enrobed tannins and mineral and soil complexity to merit five or six years of cellaring.
The rich, full and very serious big-bodied flavors are blessed with huge amounts of dry extract that push the firm structural elements to the background on the stony and extremely long finish.
