Estimate
Intense aromas of blackberry, currant and cherry. Full-bodied, with masses of big, velvety tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes.
...touch of lightening at the edge. Aromas of licorice, creme de cassis, incense and spring flowers are followed by a full-bodied, opulent wine with loads of fruit and glycerin as well as a plush texture.
Sexy nose offers superripe currant, raspberry, graphite and coconut. Lush, very rich and fine-grained.
... solid, powerful wine packed with tannins and heavy black fruits.... this wine is still knitting itself together. But in future years, watch for the generosity, the richness as well as the finesse and freshness.
...bright appearance, with plenty of life, even vigour, on the nose...aroma of roasted fruits...the extreme heat is here expressed as a Mediterranean style, with rustic tannin and a sort of Tuscan-tomato flavour.
