Estimate
Full body, chewy tannins yet very polished and refined. Solid density on the palate. Very long and impressive.
Features a charcoal coating, along with singed bay and tobacco leaf notes, melding pleasantly with the core of lightly steeped black currant and bitter plum fruit. Shows ample length and depth, with the grip striding through the finish.
Straightforward, focused, undergrowth and tobacco-scented bouquet, nicely defined... The palate is supple on the entry with notes of tart cherry, wild strawberry and a touch of graphite.
. Very precise, pure, flinty raspberry and coffee aromas are complicated by an intense violet note. Then almost steely in the mouth, with a bright, juicy personality to the flavors of red berries, plum, graphite and minerals
