Estimate
...this is tightly wound, with firm tannins and good spicy currant, plum and cherry flavors that slowly come shining through the tannic veil. This deeply concentrated wine has lots of pretty oak to show off, too.
This intense, ripe, full-bodied wine possesses explosive richness, lavish pain grille notes, low acidity, and a heady, lusty, super-long finish. Yes, the new oak is high, but so is the wine's extract and fruit concentration.
