Estimate
...gorgeous bouquet of very perfumed, floral dark berry fruit and crushed violets interlaced with India ink, crushed stone and incense; opulent but very refined. The palate is medium-bodied with cashmere tannins that lend a silky texture.
...brilliant, bursting with notes of cherries, plums, raw cocoa, exotic spices, blood orange and espresso roast. Full-bodied, layered and perfumed, its satiny attack segues into a deep, concentrated mid-palate and a long, perfumed finish.
Subtle but discernible wood can be found on the pretty and perfumed aromas of sandalwood, exotic tea, essence of black currant, plum and a similar hint of star anise. There is excellent mid-palate density thanks to the abundant dry extract that buffers the firmer tannins shaping the mineral-driven, robust and powerful finish.
