Medium garnet, with some fine deposit. Black currant, plum with some red currant. Toast and cedar. Some leather and tobacco with a slightly vegetal/wet leaves note. Medium tannin, high acidity with medium body and intensity. Black currant, bramble and plum, with red currant. Some cedar and charred wood, with leather and mushroom, medium finish with savoury notes. Improved after an hour in decanter. Overall good, but it is probably past its best.

Neutral. Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot based blend with Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec additions. Slightly dry moments after uncorking, sort of nondescript about 20 minutes later.
Fine; nothing special. Barely stood up to roasted vegetables and rare steak. Perhaps a light veggie or cheese pairing?
