  2/20/2013 - thegrandcrew Likes this wine: 89 Points

  Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend, 12% vol. Dark, ruby red hue, turning a bit brick red-ish near the edges. Still quite fresh on the nose with beautiful notes of black fruits, brambleberry and sweet vanilla and cinnamon spice. Velvety, smooth on the attack but then immediately transitioning into a very dark chocolaty texture and flavor on the mid-palate with the tannins at the forefront. Balanced pretty well by a juicy acidity and flavors of blackberries, black cherries and vanilla. This is definitely a food wine, no surprise there. This will pair perfectly, as planned, with Bordeaux’s hearty cuisine of confit de canard and fois gras.
