Estimate
...mixture of red and black fruit with just a faint tinge of seaweed...palate is medium-bodied with a slightly grainy texture. There is a nice bead of acidity here, great energy and tension, quite linear toward the finish that is bestowed with elegance and poise, as well as a pinch of allspice on the finish.
Superripe aromas of roasted black cherry and dark chocolate. Concentrated, juicy and powerful, with dark cherry and iron flavors dominating; sweet and deep but a bit youthfully monolithic. A very rich Santenots with ripe tannins and finishing notes of game and spices.
Racy and liqueur. Lots of vitality and fruit. Masses of fruit but quite a bit of tannin too.
