Estimate
...possesses superb balance and intensity, with huge tannins, expressive aromatics and the pedigree to age well for years... Huge, searing tannins wrap around a core of dark red and black fruit, sweet spices, licorice and new leather.
This is a real connoisseur’s choice, since it needs a good 5-8 years of bottle age. This is a monster effort from the valley floor and should be respected appropriately.
So much blueberry, black currant and licorice aromas follow through to a full body, plus focused and chewy tannins that are polished and beautiful. A super wine with a future.
Shows a solid, rich core of herb-laced currant and blackberry flavors, rustic and edgy, yet solid and sure to round out into a full expression.
