Estimate
...tannic, opulent, backward, primary effort displaying an inky/purple color along with notes of incense, camphor, toast and abundant black fruits. Full-bodied, dramatic, slightly tannic and structured...
Dark red and purple fruit, violets, mint, graphite, bittersweet chocolate and lavender are all laced together nicely in the glass...more than enough underlying acidity and minerality to suggest a few more years in bottle is optimal.
Young and robust, with rich dark berry and cedary herb notes competing for prominence. Dense, chewy tannins and clinging dryness ultimately define this wine.
