Estimate
Intense blackberry and cherry, with hints of currant. Toasted oak and sweet tobacco too.
...exhibits a striking bouquet of forest floor and black currants...full-bodied, exuberant...lot of complexity, and striking depth and richness.
...sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, charcoal, lead pencil shavings and damp earth, it’s full-bodied, gorgeously concentrated, balanced and long...it has terrific purity as well as complexity.
... rich and elegant. There are generous tannins, ripe black currant fruits, balancing acidity, all in an ensemble that is so much more than the sum of its parts.
Explosive nose of black raspberry, coffee and leather. Hugely rich, dense and sweet, with deep flavors of currant, plum and chocolate complicated by underlying minerality.
Lovely cedary black fruit aromas... Some oak sweetness on the palate but it's fresh too and the tannins are fine and resolved, still with some density.
