An exemplary wine, a blend of Merlot (66%) and Cabernet Franc (34%), sees 70% new French oak.That oak here is fairly obvious: well seasoned, cedary - the rich, dark fruit sits in the background, supplemented by cigar box aromatics.
Medium-full of body, the fruit here on the palate a little more noticeable, the oak and fruit commencing their harmonious little dance that will continue over the next twenty years or so. Carries that graphite, possesses excellent structure - will serve it well for the road ahead.
Unyielding length - a superb wine. 96
