Estimate
Incredible nose of crushed berry, licorice, violets and lightly toasted oak. Pure crème de cassis. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, long finish.
Muscular, deep, and full-bodied...a tight but juicy bouquet of vanilla, black cherries, crushed rocks, and flowers, a sweet attack, and moderately high tannin. Backward and fresh, displaying delineation...
Plum, tar, cedar and nutty oak on the nose. Then massive and full on the palate; almost too big for the mouth.
Quite savoury with a hint of leather.
