Very tobacco, powerful, rich bouquet. Still tannic on the palate, but very rich and spicy. Assertive style, still filling out in 2010. In 2011, raspberries, warm spices and damp earth on the nose. Lovely cedary taste, full of soft glycerol. Nice, decisive finish. A very rewarding bottle of wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 90 1491:12 bts (owc) 1492:12 bts (wc)Estimates are per lot
