Blend of 80% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 16 months in 60% new French oak, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, herb spice and smoky cedar notes. On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry and plum with cacao, tobacco, licorice and herb cedar spice. Fine grainy tannins, well balanced on long finish, ending with fruit, cedar, smoke and earthy mineral character. Very nice, will age well but wait a few more years to really enjoy!

Drank 1/18/19 at the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux event in Miami. All wines from the 2016 Vintage.
Tasting pour, no formal notes taken. Most of these wines are very tight, and will require 5-15 years to really come together. Many will likely improve a few points with time.
A very nice wine from this estate. Dominated by purple and black fruits, this one will likely drink well early and for many more years.
