Estimate
...a beautiful blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Merlot... sweet perfume of pure black fruits, licorice, vanilla, and smoke. The wine is supple, dense, opulent in the mouth, and long in the finish... Yummy!
Currant, black cherry, graphite, licorice and fresh herbs on the nose. Then sweet, rich and suave in the mouth, with creamy flavors of red fruits, tobacco and herbs nicely shaped by harmonious acidity.
Opens with complex aromas of cassis and new smoky oak, and turns lush and smooth when it hits the palate, yet at times seems almost too ripe. Gorgeous now, and should improve.
