Estimate
Brooding aromas of black raspberry and minerals; distinctly fruitier than the Clos-Saint-Denis. Then fatter, sweeter and more masculine in the mouth, with powerful fruit and a serious, mounting aftertaste.
This is discreetly floral with an elegant, refined and dense nose of red berry fruit, earth and wisps of anise and clove... fresh & mouth coating medium plus weight flavors that possess good richness & solid power, punch, depth and length.
Black tea, black pepper, cedar, and Latakia tobacco pungency on the nose continue to inform a palate of ripe berries laced with marzipan. The somehow metaphorically dark and impressively pungent elements really take hold in a long finish...
