  What a super wine. Filled with all the smoke, tobacco, cedar and cigar box you could ever ask for, the wine is silky, soft and the finish tastes as good as it feels, with all those sweet, cherries, flowers and smoke. The bottle was from the chateau, so the storage was of course great. It is interesting to note that the blend in those days was about 90% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and even more surprising is that the wine was probably 100% whole cluster fermented!
