Estimate
Brooding aromas of black fruits, bitter chocolate and menthol hint at superripeness...boastig considerable power to the raspberry, earth and chocolate flavors. Saline, dense, classically dry wine with rich tannins that saturate the entire palate.
...dusky bouquet with herbaceous red berry fruit, hints of stewed black tea and later a little orange blossom -- all quite mercurial in the glass. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite dense with good backbone...retaining sufficient freshness and delineation on the typically succulent finish.
