Estimate
Marrow and meat stock dominate, but ripe red fruits, licorice, and crushed stone. Firm tannins – allied with the sense of stoniness...glycerin richness and concentration of red berries and meat stock help keep the feel from degenerating...
High-pitched aromas of black raspberry, licorice and game, further lifted by a floral topnote. Juicy, spicy and pure, with very good cut to the dense, sweet black fruit flavors. Finishes with a firm tannic spine and noteworthy purity.
Here the nose is also very Gevrey in character with an intensely earthy nose of wild red berry fruit aromas liberally sprinkled with jerky, underbrush and a pungent iron-like element that can also be found on the sleekly muscled flavors, all wrapped in a long, sappy and delicious finish.
