Much more of the Bordeaux varietals on the nose (40% of the blend is evenly divided between Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc). Cassis, tobacco, tomato leaf, and a hint of perceptible oak. The palate has more of the Tannat character, with powerful grip and a hint of iron that I usually associate with the varietal, punctuated by dark fruit and spice. This is quality wine for a good price, but lacks some typicité.

The bottle has a 95 rating sticker on it but no source. I'd accept an 88 rating. Had it open for 60+ minutes with minimal change in taste.
