Maybe too long - seemed like a lot of Petit Verdot, which outsized some of the nuanced tastes of the cab. Not much of the rich peppery notes of the cab franc. Does pour a beautiful ruby color.

Dark crimson. Toasted oak, leather, spice, and blueberry nose. Medium to full bodied, bramble, black pepper, crushed black cherries, smoke, leathery tannins, and a medium to long finish. The fruit is a little bit smothered by everything else on this one.

Nicely structured, BDX character, but otherwise feels muted, inharmonious. Dumb phase perhaps, though feels like a wine with a good but not great ceiling.

Reasonably decent bottle of wine, but felt like it was a little bit too young gonna wait a couple more years to try the others
