A classic blend of Cabernet (51%), Merlot (43%) and Franc (6%) with some attitude and finesse. The minty character of the Cabernet skips through hot on the tail of juicy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit and smokey oak. Medium bodied, this is soft with depth and a lingering grip.
I found the open sample bottle after three days and the contents were still rocking it. Age worthy and slurpable. What's more, I still can't believe the price. A great buy and well worth aging for up to ten years.
Very good.
