Estimate
...showy, heady, hedonistic, aromatic, full-bodied and lush with abundant velvety tannins and a long and powerful finish where the notes of black peppercorns and tea and tobacco leaves dominate.
...spicy, leathery nose full of cool but ripe cherry and blackcurrant fruit...touch of vine tomato, but this adds complexity and character without detracting from the fruit...palate is luscious with dark-cherry fruit. The oak is sweet but measured, as are the fine, ripe tannins. There is just enough bite to leave a fresh impression on the long, black-fruited finish. Fine.
