Souple et raffiné. Beau fruit bien dense et croquant. Des cerises noires et des framboises avec un peu de terre et de café. Les tannins sont bien enrobée et la finale de belle longueur montre des effluves de cèdre. Beau vin qui en a encore pas mal dans le corps. Excellent.

The first of my 5 bottles. 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. I previously had the 2005 vintage of this wine. Decanted and hour before drinking. Moderate sediment. A rather fruity and grapey nose. Minerals, tart black fruit and leather notes. Gritty tannins. The finish is almost feminine. 93 points.

Full bodied, at the beginning of its drinking window, hedonistic. However, in my opinion, other than I expected, no better than the 2012.
