Medium garnet hue. Pronounced bouquet of dark fruit, with cassis, earthy, honey, mushroom. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. Supple tannins with a medium finish. Complex and balanced. Thoroughly enjoyable and aging gracefully. 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc.

Black currant, tobacco, mushroom, earthy, Forrest floor, cigar box and pencil shavings on the nose. Lacking a bit fruit on the palate, but nicely tertiary aromas. Maybe a bit over the top, but still a good wine.

From magnum; nice old Bordeaux. Fruit and tannin pretty much resolved, nose is typical cigar/dust, holding on, finishing a little thin. Not glorious by any stretch but a lovely wine to enjoy over 3 days Christmas.

Past it’s prime. Balsamic notes on the nose, overly acidic on the tongue.
