Estimate
... opaque black/blue colors, enormously concentrated red, blue and black fruits intermixed with camphor and creosote notes... impressive scale, richness, texture and power...
Today the tannins are imposing, even within the context of this site and wine. Raspberry jam, wild flowers, pomegranate and exotic spices add the final layers of nuance, but it is pretty clear the 2012 is showing just the barest essence...
High-toned aromas of blackberry, blueberry, tar, violet and mocha. Densely packed, supple and sweet, showing a strong component of nutty oak today...
