Estimate
The flavors are dark, bold and incisive throughout, with plenty of dark red cherry, plum, leather, smoke, tar, licorice and scorched earth overtones. Powerful and intense, with a real sense of vertical structure,
A taut, linear style, with a solid structure keeping the cherry, licorice, tobacco and stone flavors in a firm grip. Though austere now, this has intensity and personality, ending with a long aftertaste of fruit and mineral.
