La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 94 points
October 23, 2015 - 2015 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/19/2015-10/27/2015 (New York City, NY): A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, this deep ruby wine serves up black raspberries, anise, dark chocolate, fig and loamy earth on both the nose and palate. Full-bodied, fresh and with big firm tannins, it has impressive mid-palate density and shows no alcoholic heat. The finish is long, but quite astringent as a result of its tannic backbone. Cellar time is very important here. Drink 2021-2035.
