Soft, silky, lush and loaded with ripe plum, cherry, flower and earthy nuances open the nose. The wine is soft, round and filled with black plums, thyme, earth and an herbal note on the back-end.

Showing a bit more depth of color than usual, the wine pops with flowers, mint and black plums. This wine is buxom, fresh with seductive, dark red fruits tucked into its cleavage and an earthy presence that sticks with you from start to cherry finish. The wine was made from a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc. The Merlot was harvested September 30 and the Cabernet Franc, October 12.

La Vie du Vin featuring Ch. Lafleur and Martine's Wines (Blackberry Farm, TN): I preferred this to the 2020, perhaps due to greater Cab Franc mix. Cooler vintage and cooler palate. Rainy spring then dry. Excellent.

nice balance, fresh nose, good balance, I like a lot the palate, very spicy tannin right now, needs a lot of time, next to the 2008 the nose a bit shy
