Lovely spicy Cab Franc aromas and flavors, soft tannins, drinking beautifully tonight, every time I’m lucky enough to drink a great Bordeaux growth I remember how profound these wines are, the 1985 in magnum was better, but this is super fine and very suave for an ‘86!! — 13 days ago

Primarily Merlot blended with a bit of Cabernet Franc. Intense aromas of black cherry/currants and asphalt. Hint of roasted nuts. The pallet also features dark fruit flavors with notes of dark chocolate, coffee and spicy oak. Lots of acidity and power. Deep and brooding. Well balanced alcohol and tannins. — 2 months ago
