Estimate
...bold, flamboyant scents of chocolate-covered cherries, wild blueberries and warm cassis with hints of menthol, lilacs, clove oil and crushed rocks plus a waft of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant, delivering vibrant black and blue fruits with a firm, exquisitely fine-grained texture and fantastic freshness, finishing with epic length and energy.
Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, new leather and menthol race out of the glass. The wine's depth, resonance and pedigree are simply thrilling.
...aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, blueberries, candied violets, honeysuckle, and tobacco. Full-bodied, deep, rich, and incredibly textured, it packs a punch yet stays flawlessly balanced, has ripe tannins, wonderful purity, and a great finish.
