Estimate
...notes of graphite, asphalt, camphor, black truffle, blackberry and cassis soar from the glass. Some meatiness is also apparent, as this wine comes across like a California version of a great Hermitage.
Black pepper, orange peel, melted road tar, game, smoke and incense meld into generous blue and purple-toned fruit.
Pure peppery bliss! Rotundune ahoy, and plentiful fruit too with beautifully formed black cherry and prune fruit. Absolutely gorgeous.
