96 Points

Friday, December 15, 2023 - Deep dark reddish-purple garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty, spices & floral notes, some herbal notes, minerals, anise, coffee/cocoa & a slight hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, with layers of lush ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & dark raspberries with herbs, minerals, spices, coffee, cocoa & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging at which time it may rate a higher score (95+). An indicative blend of 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc & 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. A remarkable wine!
