Estimate
...mineral-laced bouquet of black and blue fruits, graphite, lead pencil, and smoke tobacco, it's medium to full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, structured, and tannic on the palate.
The bouquet offers up a youthful and nicely sappy nose of red and black cherries, a touch of eucalyptus, Cuban cigar... On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite elegant in profile, with a superb core of fruit, fine-grained tannins, good acids and lovely focus and grip on the very long, well-balanced and very promising finish.
Solid, with a fresh violet note around the core of vibrant cassis and plum flavors...minerally edge pierces the finish, which is relatively unencumbered by toast, letting the fruit play out.
...scented of menthol, bitter chocolate, tilled earth, red and black cherries, cedar and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm frame of chewy tannins and good freshness to lift the finish.
