Estimate
This is top of the line... lengendary producer. Love the blackberry and Cameroon blackpepper, with hints of fresh herbs. Meat too. Black olives. Full bodied with soft and round tannins and plenty of fruit. Very long & intense on the finish.
Delightfully old-school, with lots of coffee and mulled black olive flavors that are muscular on the finish, where sanguine and iron notes take over, with echoes of dark fruit and mouthwatering acidity in reserve.
...strong mineral cut to the expansive red fruit flavors. Silky tannins arrive with air and add grip to the long, spicy, impressively pure finish.
...notes of scorched earth, new saddle leather, blackberries, cassis, figs, and tobacco leaf. Luscious by Clape’s standards, it should age nicely for 15 years.
