Estimate
...aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, sweet soil tones and hints of cigar wrapper, rose petals and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered...with terrific concentration, tangy acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish.
...rich, layered and sumptuous. Black cherry, licorice, spice, leather tobacco and tar build effortlessly in the glass...impresses with its density and pure power...
Very clear fruit character of blackcurrants, orange peel and spices. Some walnut, too. It’s full-bodied with integrated, polished tannins and shows finesse and focus. Love the focused fruit at the end of this. Strength with finesse.
Leads with vivid violet and cassis, while dark plum, blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes follow quickly. Racy, structured and well-built, with graphite and apple wood driving through the finish. Very pure and aromatic, featuring a nice sanguine echo that lingers at the very end.
Beautiful blue fruits, tobacco, damp earth, and floral notes...medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced, has silky tannins, and shows the quality of the vintage perfectly.
Light with quite marked acidity...with good fruit/tannin balance. Sandpaper tannins on the finish.
