Estimate
...bright, vivacious blackcurrant jelly, black cherry preserves and mulberries scents, plus wafts of crushed rocks, cardamom, fragrant earth and violets...medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with crunchy black fruits and red berry sparks, framed by taut, fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and perfumed.
...swarms in velvety baked fruit...shows complex layers of crushed rock, iron and earth. The exuberantly vibrant yet rich core weaves together notes of cocoa powder, currant, black pepper and tobacco.
...beautiful perfume of ripe black cherry and cassis fruits as well as classy tobacco, new oak, cedar pencil, and violets...a classic 2018 on the palate and stays relatively focused and straight, with good concentration, ripe, polished tannins, and a wonderful sense of balance and purity.
A ripe and rich nose of blackberries, dark plums, prunes and chocolate orange. Full-bodied with supple tannins. Creamy with lots of fruit and chocolate. Flavorful finish.
