Acetone laced floral fruity nose. Dense fruit and heat are balanced by surprisingly fresh acidity in this 8 year old. Age mitigated tannins are noticed only as the other elements fade.

Phenomenal showing for this! 99-100, In fact I think it was perfect. I think there's another 5+ years left in it. Last tasted about 3 years ago and it has really come together. Classic Les Behrens style with the 42% Cabernet Franc, 42% Merlot, and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly integrated now, no chunks and seems like it was fined / filtered. Drink or hold.

Very enjoyable right of the bottle and through a Vinturi - rich dark fruit and nicely balanced. It is definitely a wine meant to paired with food.

Dark berry fruit aromas with cherry and anise notes on the palate. Medium - full bodied with a lasting finish.

Rich, ripe, and balanced. Lovely fruit. And no rubber cork - yay!
