53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, rest Petit Verdot and Malbec. 14.5% alc. good secondary characteristics on the nose, forest notes, spice box, tobacco, plums, cherries. On the palate quite powerful and rich with good fruit still, a little drying towards the finish. Decent length. Unlikely to improve, but no rush drinking up. 90-92
