December 20, 2020 - 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Gave 3h air.
Medium ruby color. Notes of black cherry, coffee, soy sauce and potting soil. Satin texture, medium-full body, with succulent dark fruit on the palate, hints of coffee and a spicy lift. Very young, with aggressive muscular tannins that wash out the finish. I sense potential, but this one's not yet for drinking.3 people found this helpful 2,037 views

Happy holidays! 🎁 -
