Estimate
...sumptuously textured and beautifully rich. It soothes the palate with its dark fruit intensity and sensual flavors of spice and toast that increase in intensity with each delicious sip. The bouquet peels off in thick layers, revealing Morello cherry, leather, black olive and moist chewing tobacco.
...naturally a bit slender in fruit next to the vintages that follow...striking aromatic presence, silky tannins and phenomenal balance.
Soft and lush, this red is nonetheless fresh, allowing black currant, black cherry, blueberry, cedar, iron and spice flavors to express themselves. Firm and harmonious, with a solid structure and a long aftertaste.
Extremely perfumed and enticing with violet, blackberry and wet earth. So aromatic and beautiful. Full to medium body, linear and chewy with lots of fruit and a long and consistent finish.
