Estimate
Sweet red fruit, licorice, leather and moist pipe tobacco are some of the many layers that peel back from the bouquet. The balance, structure and persistence of the wine are all superb.
Elegant and sinewy, offering rose, cherry, red berry, eucalyptus and licorice notes. The tannins are aggressive and firm, yet this remains balanced overall, finishing very long.
Reticent but pure aromas of strawberry, raspberry, mocha and tobacco, with hints of dried fruits. Rich but very backward, even clenched, today, with firm acidity and a strong tannic structure calling for a good decade of cellaring.
