Best bottle of this in a long time. Rich berry fruit, softened by the franc and merlot a bit, but given structure by the well integrated tannins. Sorry it was my last bottle, but it was very much enjoyed.

Broken cork. Fruit was weak, but wine was drinkable. Most striking thing about this bottle was that the tannins were still pretty thick. One more bottle left, and I think it could probably use another 5 years!
