Drinking very well. Brick red, lots of red and black fruit on the nose, along with some floral notes. More of the same on the palate, with a bit of spice. Dry, with medium acidity, medium and supple tannins, alcohol was high but balanced, medium body. Not an exceptionally long finish, but this was a lovely wine that even improved over the evening. Paired well with a beef stew.

Bright garnet belly, will only a mild brick rim. A tary burnt liquorice nose with lots of dark red fruits. Cassis and vanilla arrive at the end. Black currant and blueberry on the palate with a very long finish. Strawberry coming in at the tail. Excellent integration of constituents. At its peak and should stay there for a couple of years.

Drinking extremely well now and definitely not past its prime. The cab franc and petit verdot come through strongly.
