Dark fruit, berry jam, potting soil, eucalyptus with a peppery finish. The 1% of petit Verdot hits you at first, the merlot grounds it and the cab franc comes in waves. This was excellent two years ago, and today is okay, past its peak, but in all a great wine still.

Still held up with nice smooth tannins, balanced, went well with fish and green salad.
