Estimate
...kirsch, spice and earth plus an herbal hint...powerful and tautly muscled broad-shouldered flavors...very firm tannins that impart a dusty texture on the superbly long finish. This intensely floral effort is...In a word, sensational.
...gorgeous aromatic delineation and freshness, not to mention tremendous purity in its fruit. The balance of fruit, acidity and tannin is superb.
Musky red fruits, blueberry, menthol and minerals on the nose, along with a sexy suggestion of white fruits. Large-scaled and broad on the palate, with a captivating creamy sweetness that's classic 2009.
Quite solid and rich – sweet and a little gamey. Solid, with some obviously density and structure, should make delicious old bones...
