Aromas full of crushed blackberries and blueberries with fresh mushrooms and sandalwood. Full-bodied, very tight and focused with fabulous density of fruit

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, herbs, tobacco, graphite, dark coffee and dark chocolates.
Medium minus in length on the finish, with grippy tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Merlot blend from Bordeaux is showing nice complexity now, although still very young.
I gave it 2 hours of airtime, but it was clearly not enough.
Robert Parker 93 points.
Still very young and tight. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. I had the 2012 a few years ago, and it was much more approachable.
A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels (35% new).
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$90.

Opened up well after a few hours. A serious wine with lots of character. Will get even better
With age. Enjoyed with Xmas dinner of roasted quails

This has already matured very well. Gave it time to open up and it was rich, round and vibrant.

Very good. Rich and fulfilling. Tasted it on the boat, so perhaps not the most best environment for serious tasting notes.
