Estimate
A ripe, heady, blockbuster styled beauty...super ripe (but not overripe) notes of blackcurrants, Asian spices, cherries, and earth. With full-bodied richness, high, yet sweet tannin, and an incredible texture...
...expressive black cherries, red currants and black raspberries notes with hints of baking spices, cigar box and bay leaves plus a waft of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with vibrant red and black fruits, supported by finely grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and spicy.
Neat, fresh and rich on the nose. Luscious and polished with lots of juice. Attractive, spicy, fleshy drink in which the fruit triumphs over the tannin.
"This is St.-Emilion at its most eloquent and pure expression." -Robert M. Parker, Jr. (Bordeaux, Fourth Edition)
