  Very dark center, dark red rim with modest signs of age.
  Intense blackcurrant and blackberry nose, salted black olives.
  Smooth and a touch sweet, blackberry and blackcurrant compote, toasty oak, Herbes de Provence, a little inky, good acidity and tannin still, long finish.
  Excellent Bordeaux-style blend (50% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc), drinking well now with air but will go for another 5+ years no problem.

  Great nose after an hour to decant. Wonderful balance as you can find both grapes. Not a lot of tannin but not a fruit bomb.

  Needed an hour of air to show its fruit and charm.

  Burgundy red color with a brick hue. On the nose, black peppercorns, bing cherries, black currant, dry figs, coffee and toast. Once the wine had time to breathe, ripe figs, black cherries, mocha, coffee and currant flavors flourished. Wonderful wine and worth the wait.
