Estimate
...classic cool climate notes of smoked blue fruits, candied violets, bacon fat, peppery spices, and black olives, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an expansive, concentrated mouthfeel, terrific mid-palate depth, and a great finish.
...races from the glass with blue/purplish fruit, game, smoke and tobacco, all in a broad, resonant style that emphasizes texture. The flavors are deep, inky and generous, with remarkable balance for such a big wine.
