Estimate
Floral and lifted on the outset...remarkable energy through the mid-palate and finish, with gorgeous density and plenty of punch.
...palate is medium-bodied with a succulent opening before the tannins kick in, rendering the finish more foursquare and structure. Good depth here with fine persistency...
Very ripe aromas of raspberry and strawberry complicated by a hint of gibier and a note of sexy woodsmoke... Complex notes of spices, licorice, chocolate, violet and earth are given shape by decent acidity and broad, serious, ripe tannins.
Dark fruited but softened by a slight creaminess. Generous, firm, very smooth...
