Sample tasting at work (Oinoscent): 80% Merlot 20% Cabernet Franc, 13.50%, bottle opened and poured Juicy, vibrant, full on blue fruit, loads of gamey notes, bloody, iodine Palate showing the same profile, very fresh and youthful , nice acidity, juicy tannins, med to full body. Needs time to open up but again lacks finish

Medium ruby colour. Medium and developing nose with spices, cedar, tobacco and forest floor. Medium taste of dark plum, deprives, cedar, tobacco and forest floor. Medium long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Low tannins. Medium body. A good Merlot that lacks some complexity and fruit. Drink now. Goes well with beef or lamb.

Bright red fruits, licorice and spice lead things off. Medium bodied and vinified for early drinking, the finish is bright and crisp.
