Estimate
A stunning nose of licorice, vanillin, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crème de cassis & cedarwood... multilayered, full-bodied, opulent, super-concentrated... At age 23, this beauty is just hitting its plateau of full maturity.
Rich and plush, deeply concentrated, with complex currant, coffee and cedar, and a twinge of stalky bell pepper and green bean. Finishes with tobacco notes and firm tannins. Turns herbal, but has a long way to go...
Very, very deep purple. Black cherry. Round, full, suave, and very appetising. Tannins now quite soft. Nicely refreshing dry end and acidity.
