Estimate
...gorgeous. Aromatically expressive, savory and deep on the palate, with terrific richness, the Reserve captures all the best the vintage has to offer. All the elements come together nicely...
...a substantial red that is soft in polished tannins. The aromas and flavors carry rich layers of dried herb, cedar, cassis and sweet tobacco.
...a terrific perfume of blackcurrants, nori (seaweed wrapper), dark chocolate and licorice... Rich, full-bodied, concentrated and structured, it has sweet tannin, a great mid-palate, and a big finish.
...an earthy nose with spicy red and black fruit preserves and some dusty earth and bark suggestions. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's firm and chewy in the mouth with lovely flavor layers and a long, spicy finish.
A light dusting of charcoal falls across a core of gently steeped black currant and blackberry fruit, while tobacco, bay leaf and cedar notes slide in on the finish.
