Estimate
Substantial, firm but finely-tannic and formidably concentrated, it finishes with dark, faintly bitter berries, roasted meats, beef blood, a soy-like savor, and an intense yet hard to describe minerality.
Light tea-leaf nose and very gently made. Nice direct fruit, mouthfillling...Very long and impressive.
This is primary to the point of being overtly grapey with an interesting mix of intense earth and game nuances that merge into solidly structured middle weight flavors that possess outstanding length and real depth.
Fat, sweet and powerful; a big, chocolatey-rich wine that retains freshness...
