Estimate
Pauillac-like nose of cedar, fruitcake, black currants, and spicy new oak. There is medium to full body, well-integrated sweet tannin and acidity, an opulent texture, and a layered, long finish.
Spicy...aromas of black raspberry, black cherry & licorice. Fat, lush and broad; a large-framed wine with impressive thickness & sweetness of fruit.
Toast, mixed berries and some foresty mint make for an intriguing and inviting bouquet. High-grade currant and cherry fruit, with flashes of tobacco and mildly biting tannins. It’s a heavyweight all the way, but one with balance...
