Estimate
With a wall of bacony, coffee-tinged toast separating you from the core of blackberry and rasberry fruit. Great richness and texture, though, with notes of tar, minerals, saddle leather and cocoa rippling through the finish.
Subtly complex, granitic nose melds cassis, blueberry, smoky gunflint, pepper, tar, bitter chocolate, roast coffee, leather, game and animal fur.
...reveals what should be an outstanding wine with a Burgundian-like finesse....plenty of sweet cassis fruit, medium body, noticeably high tannin, and gorgeous purity as well as symmetry.
