Estimate
Unfurling in the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of dark berries and cassis mingled with hints of violet, pencil lead, mint and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with striking intensity and sweetness of fruit married with unerring precision and energy, concluding with a long, penetrating finish.
...incredible cassis, spring flowers, crushed stone, graphite, and subtle tobacco notes to go with a full-bodied, ultra-pure, fine, seamless style on the palate. It's so rare to find a wine that can deliver this level of richness and intensity with no sensation of weight, as well as an incredible sense of finesse and elegance.
Deep nose with graphite, gravel, dark hazelnut chocolate, blackberries, blueberries and truffles. Really taut and tense on the palate with fresh, vibrating tannins and a very long, chalky finish.
...dense and ripe, with great acidity and freshness...beautifully textured and rich wine...concentration is impressive.
...intense nose...wonderful delineation with black fruit, pine and a light graphite note that runs through from start to finish... The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins.
Floral, cassis and graphite notes. Plenty of energy, the fruit juicy and rich... Ripe, abundant tannins... Long, persistent finish.
