Estimate
From vines planted in 1922...has floral, red fruit aromas. Blackberries and cherries can be found in this highly expressive, well-balanced, and elegant offering...it possesses a firm, tannic backbone, it is covered in loads of lush fruit.
Nuanced nose combines black plum, cocoa powder, bitter chocolate and spicy, smoky oak. Lovely silky texture given backbone by sound acidity...licorice flavors and very fine tannins and subtle persistence...
... The attractively layered nose has a slight bacon fat and a hint of charcoal though the balance and persistence of the finish are both impressive...
