Wonderful well aged Bordeaux blend, wish I had a case left. Black cherry and plumb on the nose, with ripe flavors of blackberry, currant, and clove. Hints of anise and a well integrated backbone on tanins that bring it all together. The finish builds with smokey notes that go on. Truly great wine.

Gibby's monthly tasting (Gibby's Wine Den, Geneva, IL): A garnet colored blend of Merlot (60%), Cab Franc (30%) and Syrah (10%). Aromas of sage, olive and dark fruit. Flavors of blackberry, blackk currants and spicy oak.

Black cherry and plum on the nose. Hints of cedar with firm tannins. Backbone suggests many more years of potential.

Great balance, bright, rich, and excellent. Held up well on night two, as well.

Very tasty blend of Merlot and Cab Franc. Not at all like a bordeaux. Chery and floral mid palate with a soft finish. Yum!
