Estimate
A massive, full-bodied wine, it slathers the palate with deep, dense waves of ink, sweet tar, black cherries, and licorice. Yet, for all its power and intensity, this beauty is supple, suave, and lush.
Deep, smoky aromas of blackberry, roots and underbrush; smells weighty. Then surprisingly brisk and fresh in the mouth, with well-defined flavors of crushed blackberry, currant and licorice. Finishes long and bright, with excellent lift.
An exuberant red fruit nose nuanced with hints of game, plenty of Gevrey earth and a touch of underbrush merges into classy, round and surprisingly supple flavors... fine tannins and a fruity, sweet, delicious finish.
