Estimate
Well-marked by oak, showing smoke and spice notes, with ample black cherry, currant and mineral flavors adding depth. The tannins are dominant but not overbearing, offering balance on the long finish of fruit and spice.
...this wine is huge, rich and structured. It has power and concentrated tannins, and the hints of wood aging are apparent.
Sensational nose features all the Burgundy food groups: raspberry, minerals, flowers, game, spices. Pure silk on the palate, with a wonderfully fine-grained texture given lift and razor-sharp definition by sappy acidity...
There is impressive richness and size to the powerful and well-concentrated large-scaled flavors that are underpinned by buried tannins before culminating in a huge finish that is also monumentally proportioned.
Real reverberation. Dense with a dry edge but with lots of life and energy. Long and chock full of energy.
