Estimate
...Massive notes of crème de cassis, toasted spice, graphite, crushed flowers, and cured meats all emerge from this full-bodied, deep, rich, powerful effort that has off-the-charts purity of fruit. It’s just about as good as Syrah gets and is an incredible wine I wish every reader could taste.
...deep garnet-purple colored, opening with exuberant notes of crushed blackberries, black cherries and cassis with hints of asphalt, star anise, truffles and mossy bark. Full, firm and with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, it has tons of taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and mineral tinged.
