Estimate
Very precise aromas of blackberries, blueberries, oyster shell and sweet tobacco. Subtle yet complex. Full-bodied, tight and silky with a reaching tannin structure that drives through the palate. Excellent at the end. Long finish.
This is a very fine wine, bringing together sophisticated tannins and rich black fruits. It has structure, acidity and a juicy core that are well balanced, ripe and with great intensity.
Enticing, with loganberry, raspberry and blackberry fruit rushing forth, pushed by a graphite edge and underscored by a mouthwatering anise note on the finish. Shows a lovely tobacco echo at the very end.
Blue and purplish-hued stone fruits, licorice, menthol, spice and a good bit of French oak shape a powerful, deeply expressive Saint-Émilion that hits all the right notes.
...black cherries, iodine and floral notes... The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite plush in the mouth with soft blackberry tinged with allspice and graphite on the finish.
