Estimate
..aromas of scorched earth, plums, cassis, charcoal, & truffles, powerful, full-bodied flavors, superb concentration, and a boatload of tannin. The wine is so complex aromatically, and the attack is so impressive...
A subtle yet rich wine. Dark red, with an inky center and an amber edge. Beautiful cigar-box, berry and cherry aromas. Full-bodied and very ripe, with sweet fruit and wonderful autumnal flavors. Long, with silky texture.
...Slowly developing, highly expressive aromas of cooked plum, leather, tobacco, road tar and earth...silky and lush in the mouth, with compelling fat and texture...Thick and impressive wine...with solid, ripe tannins. Serious juice.
...fully evolved. Broad and transparent and lively...Cassis...
