Estimate
I love the rosewater, currants and citrus character to this now...full body yet so ethereal. It goes on and on in the finish turning creamy and citrusy.
...beautiful bouquet of seductive cedarwood, spices, and ripe fruit precedes a very concentrated, darkly colored wine, with great length and texture.
The nose is pure, refined and nicely tertiary now in its blend of cherries, sweet cigar wrapper, a lovely base of gravelly soil tones, coffee, a touch of currant leaf and a discreet framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, suave and intensely flavored, with lovely focus and grip, melted tannins and a long, complex and very polished finish.
...the bouquet is open-knit with Montecristos, graphite and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and well balanced...ample detail on the classically styled finish.
...sweet start and then a little dry and short of fruit... The finish was very intriguing and nuanced, however.
...bouquet mature and totally harmonious; good fruit, good drink yet with keen-edged tannins. Very drinkable.
