This blend of Cab., Cab. Franc and Malbec blend comes across big, extracted, rich and silky smooth. Plums and prunes with spice and earth and a bit to sweet. Nothing lost yet.

1 hour decant. Blood-to-purple color. No sediment. Nose with strong cassis, less blackberry, raspberry, and raisin with a sharp vanilla extract note (vanilla and high alcohol) and wafts of cedar and slate. Tastes of blackberry and raspberry jam with plenty of heat and dark chocolate on the aftertaste. Medium-to-full extraction. Tannins leave a chalky to leathery texture. Medium on the finish and acidity.
Bottle claims 15 ABV but I wouldn't be surprised if it was closer to 16.

This is a blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and syrah. Solid on its creamy, warm, involving style, with a surprising level of complexity. Black currant, blueberries, olives, caramel, black pepper, basel and graphitte, all can be found in this dense full bodied wide open wine, of suitable tannins, delivering a long and savory licorice/mineral finish. Feels like a french syrah blend, less elegante, more opulent. 92

Big, bold and smooth. Lots of dark berries here and a hint of spice. Holding up very well. Drink up!

Very weird this time. Medicinal flavors gave this bottle a very off taste from the opening to more than an hour in the decanter.
Just a bad bottle...
