Estimate
...aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, vanilla and nut shell. Some blue flowers, too. Full-bodied with firm, plush tannins and a juicy mouth-feel. Big and balanced... Long, chocolatey finish. Turns firm and juicy.
Cassis, crushed stone, lead pencil, and hints of violets define the bouquet...full-bodied, with beautiful tannins and the focused, pure, seamless style of the vintage.
...vibrant notes of cherries and cassis. Full-bodied and richly textured...chocolaty on the long finish.
...a heady, showy wine endowed with port-like richness. Blackberry jam, espresso, licorice, cloves and new French oak saturate the palate...packs a serious punch.
