Deep in color, the wine is equally deep on the palate. Opening with an intense display of flowers and potpourri, the wine quickly moves to show off the remainder of its aromatic profile that includes, spice-box, licorice, chocolate infused cherries, mint leaf and black plums. Full-bodied, rich, intense and opulent, the finish lingers on the palate, providing a backdrop for all of its opulent, ripe, vibrant fruits and crushed stones. Drink from 2026-2055.

Deep in color, with a complex array of aromas ranging from flowers, black and red fruits, espresso, licorice, wet earth, mint and thyme. On the palate, the wine is lush, round, velvety, and intense. Long, mouth-filling and expansive, the wine builds and grows on the palate. The initial attack is not strong, but the finish keeps on building, which is a good thing, because the refined textured fruits, with their purity and freshness is with you for over 50 seconds. Blending 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc. 97-99 Pts

Darkest red w/o being too fat. Wonderful harmony of all elements. Very well done wine, almost flawless. Great balance which ends in a 30 second+ finish. Excellent
