Estimate
...smoky oak, full body and chunky tannins...plenty of flesh and packs a big tannic punch on the finish.
...melded together nicely...with a core of gently steeped plum, blackberry and anise flavors intertwined with light licorice snap and roasted apple wood notes. Focused and solid, but with a charming supple edge.
...revealed blackcurrant, smoke and tobacco aromas, hints of boysenberry with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin...
...ripe and generous bouquet with black cherries, boysenberry and light violet petal aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy and chunky tannin, good weight in the mouth...
Interesting nose that has those damp-rope notes! Thick and velvet-textured...appetising old bones. Very solid wine.
