Flowers, leafy herbs, spice, black raspberries, a touch of espresso, and licorice open the nose. On the palate, the first thing you notice is the silky texture. There is intensity, freshness, elegance, and lift to the red and black fruits with their elegant mouthfeel. The wine finishes with a touch of salty rocks that rides on top of all the layers of sweet, ripe fruits. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc.15% ABV, 3.75 pH. Drink from 2024-2045. 94-96 Pts.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Raspberry, a little herbaceous note, touch of chalkiness and plums, red liquorice. Medium plus intensity acidity, red hued fruits are joined by some cherry, slightly woody tannins and some plain chocolate. Okay.
