Estimate
...bouquet is very intense and opulent, with small dark cherries, kirsch, a touch of fresh prune and fig that is well-defined...palate is medium-bodied with rich, ripe tannins, and mineral-laden dark black fruit, but the finish retains superb brightness and clarity.
Explosive aromas of dark berry preserves, vanilla and floral pastilles... Palate-staining blackberry and cherry-cola flavors show outstanding depth and clarity...very long, spice-tinged finish features fine-grained tannins and a suave lavender quality. Shows superb power and focus on a very long, spice-tinged finish.
