Blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon with 24% Cabernet Franc, 19% of Petit Verdot and 15% of Malbec. Aged for 20 months in French oak almost all new. Inky crimson in colour. Displays dark, ripe plum and black cherry followed by dark chocolate and cedar that is still upfront well after a decade. Sweet, ripe style with plenty of weight and a dense, chewy texture. Long, supple finish.

Nicely balanced with the structure to last for a few more years in the cellar. Some good tobacco on the nose with some cassis. Graphite on the finish. Very nice for this vintage.

My last bottle of this. It has declined since 2017. Still pleasant but losing nuance.
