1 hr decant, slowly sipped 3 more hrs. Wine of the night! Rich purple/magenta. Soaring and expressive aromas outta the glass of rich ripe dark fruits, lavender, tree trunk, baking spices and sweet minerals. Opulent, bold, massively huge on the palate offering nothing but intense pleasure on every sip! Additional notes of mushrooms, forest floor and dried herbs. Lively acidity and ripe tannins on a super long finish! What a stupendous blend of sugarloaf Franc and merlot. Cheers!

Mint, menthol, mocha, herbs, tobacco. Full-throttle wine of course. Good to drink with a couple hours in the decanter.

Full, intense, floral up front, with big purple and blue fruit. Long finish. Approachable young.
Really lovely wine. Like being outside on a warm summer afternoon in California.
Bevan tasting in st Helena, paired with rich duck ragu.
