  Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot in unknown proportions.
  It aged 18 months in new French oak barrels. Only 2570 bottles were produced.
  Very dark and dense color revealing a very concentrated wine.
  On the nose, it shows ripe black fruits, flowers and prominent scents of black tea followed by hints of alcohol. Oak is also present but totally integrated into the wine. On the palate, it's full bodied, medium astringency, soft tannins, medium aftertaste, but a bit hollow on the mid palate. It also unveils a nice flavor of bitter chocolate. Very good wine, but it's a bit overpriced, so I'm not sure I'll buy it again.
