Extremely expressive bouquet, great darkish fruit and very lively tannins. Much enjoyable now, on its own or with meat dishes, but can be kept for more years.

Blend of 74% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet-Sauvignon. Impossibly young of course, but the composition and structure seem very good; hint of tar but not over-extracted, rich and ripe Merlot, perfectly integrated oak, powerful but ripe tannins; impressive nose, palate still tight; good length. Drink 2016-2025. At Hotel Dukes Palace, Brugge, Belgium.
