  My very first taste of 2017 Bordeaux, this wine jumpstarted my morning with licorice, mint, espresso, cocoa and dark red plums. Medium–bodied, smooth and lavish with a dusty time warp in the finish -- I would drink this early. This year the addition of 5% young vine Cabernet Franc was blended with 95% Merlot.
  
  Currently the vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc -- but the goal is to increase the newer vine to 35% in the future.
