This is Merlot based with small parts of Cabernet Sauv and Cabernet Franc that aged from 7 to 10 months in new French oak barrels. Decanted for 1 hour. Very nice on the nose with prominent anise, mint, leather, spices, coffee and oak. On the palate, it's medium-full bodied, nice tannins, not heavily extracted with medium aftertaste. It lacks in complexity and depth, but it's classy and goes very well with food. Recommended!
