Estimate
...a powerful, rich red with a French-like elegance and complexity...a sweet, complex nose of spice box, creme de cassis, anise, and white flowers. Dense, full-bodied, restrained, and perfectly balanced...
Smooth, rich and creamy, with pretty mocha, blackberry and currant flavors that are intense and concentrated, gaining amplitude on the finish and ending with firm, tight tannins and a touch of cedary oak.
Roasted, musky aromas of cassis, bitter chocolate, mocha, licorice and shoe polish. Lush, sweet and concentrated, with superripe, sappy flavors of cassis and menthol.
