Estimate
...a beautifully fresh, focused bouquet of black currants, graphite, smoked earth and chocolate, as well as full-bodied richness, good acidity and fine, polished tannin that builds with time in the glass.
Aromas of cassis, spices, menthol and licorice are accented by pungent mineral nuances. Fine-grained, graceful wine with terrific inner-mouth energy and varietal accuracy to its rather wild black fruit, spice and licorice flavors....boasts obvious generosity of flavor and really saturates the mouth on the savory, tactile finish.
This nose is really beautiful and fresh with blueberry compote, dried lavender, cloves, spices and sous bois. The medium to full palate is equally attractive and finely poised, offering up firm tannins, edgy acidity, tobacco flavors and a crunchy finish.
The aromas are light initially, with notes of cocoa, herb, barrel spice and cherry... The cherry and bittersweet chocolate flavors are backed by lightly grainy tannins...
