This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec has a rich, medium-high intensity nose of crushed blackberry, raspberry, and currant, with hints of floral and leather and well-integrated oak spice notes. It's medium-full bodied and nicely textured on the palate with structured and refined tannins that have some grip. Lovely aroma replays are well-balanced. Very good acidity. Some savoury nuances on the long finish. Approachable now, better in 1-2 years and drink to 2026. Tasted Nov/2018.
