Estimate
...exhibits a big nose of forest floor, smoke, licorice, cassis, and fudge. Dense, powerful, and moderately tannic, it may not be as flashy as many 2004s, but it is packed with fruit, glycerin, and power.
Cassis, blueberry, nutty oak and a whiff of camphor on the nose. Juicy, primary and intense, with superb cut to the dark berry and spice flavors. Very young, brisk wine with a serious tannic spine and impressive spicy persistence.
