Estimate
Wow. The blackberry, dried-flower and orange-peel aromas are so impressive... Full-bodied with a solid core of powerful yet fine-grained tannins. It goes on for minutes.
...regal and elegant, with an incredibly floral quality in its red and blue fruits, crushed rock, forest floor, and graphite-tinged aromas and flavors...medium to full-bodied, rich, layered effort has notable structure, integrated acidity, beautiful balance, and a rock star finish.
...stunning Black Forest cake, redcurrant jelly and wilted roses scents with underlying suggestions of pencil shavings, yeast extract, dark chocolate and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the mid-palate possesses superb intensity and depth with layers of perfumed black fruits and loads of red fruit sparks framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing on a lingering earthy note.
...striking aromatics. Light on its feet yet also quite fleshy... Blood orange and floral notes add brightness to the red-toned fruit in this silky, beautifully nuanced Pomerol...rich, dense and spectacularly beautiful, with a persistent, saline-drenched finish...
It has weight and density as well as dark tannins and rich black fruits. It shows great style with its beautifully integrated tannins.
Ripe and warm in feel, with an alluring mix of creamy textured cherry, red currant and raspberry reduction notes, mixed with black tea and incense accents...spine of graphite, with a hint of Turkish coffee lurking at the very end.
Sweet... Chewy, dry end...pretty juicy and pleasing. Leathery tannins.
