Estimate
Gorgeous aromas of ripe, sappy cherry and wild berry fruit, with floral notes. Racy and firm, with intensity and a strong mineral element. It's bolstered by dense tannins, but has the fruit to match.
...big, rich and sleekly muscled flavors that are very firmly structured but again, not at all aggressive and the sheer depth of material on the palate-drenching finish is nothing short of phenomenal.
Musky raspberry, brown spices, game and smoke on the highly nuanced nose. Suave, dense and deep if a bit youthfully musclebound today; conveys a powerful impression of energy and mounts impressively with air.
...Sweet and savoury like game with fruit sauce – though much fresher. Firm dry very fine tannins. Masterful reticence with class and weight. Even though tannins are firm they leave the mouth fresh.
