Estimate
Tight and muscular, with a solid core of fruit and racy tannins. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins, yet silky and refined. This is very, very firm and serious.
...real essence of Margaux. Rich but sappy, with cassis, blackberry, boysenberry and dark chocolate flavors nicely firmed by ripe acidity. Finishes long and firmly tannic, with excellent spine and grip...
With coaxing, notes of lead pencil shavings, black currants, earth, cedar, and spice box emerge...firm, medium to full-bodied wine...
