Estimate
Love the aromas of mint, blackcurrants, stones, black licorice and flowers. Full-bodied, dense and tight with layers of very, very fine and velvety tannins and a long and fantastic finish. Wonderful length and texture. A classic.
Ripe, concentrated & intense with fabulous richness... brilliantly melds together elements of both the classic & modern... dark & unctuous, but even with the wine's considerable mid-palate sweetness, it needs time for the tannins to soften.
...an extraordinary nose of créme de cassis & kirsch, licorice, cedarwood, a touch of underbrush, hits the palate with a full-bodied, powerful, concentrated, dense style, has great acidity, moderately sweet tannin, and a long, long finish.
