Note di degustazione
Showing a little more tannic than it was prior to bottling, this blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc is one of the consistently well-made over-achievers in Bordeaux. There are some nice underbrush and loamy soil notes intermixed with red and black cherries as well as currants in this medium-bodied, elegant wine, but it still has some tannins to resolve. Anticipated maturity: now.

Made from tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare, this blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc (13.5% alcohol) offers scents of berry fruit, dusty, loamy soil, cedar, and spice box along with a tannic structure. The wine builds incrementally on the palate, and comes close to being outstanding with its purity and balanced, but intense, fruit. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years. (Tasted two times.)
