Estimate
...structured wine with firm tannins and a dry core...has the rich black-cherry fruit of the vintage.
...nose is dominated by its wood and while it's clear that the underlying fruit is ripe, it's hard to identify the aromas with specificity. Otherwise the velvety, round and sappy medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive mouth feel...
...an outgoing and almost Volnay-like bouquet with copious red cherry and strawberry tart aromas neatly integrated with the oak...medium-bodied with sweet ripe red cherry and raspberry fruit, fine tannin and a pleasant spice-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth.
Some mushrooms on the nose – good mushrooms... Lots of charm. And structure.
