Robbing the cradle. 15% abv. and it’s not shy about it. 80% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc. Needs 3+ hours of air if drinking now. Powerful, spicy, earthy nose. Tannin is wonderfully approachable. This wine is gonna slap in 2030.

Fantastic this time around. Maybe a bottle issue last time. Maybe a palate issue. Who cares. This is why we do this. Dark fruits, barnyard, gym socks, forest floor and mushroom flavors dominate. Concentrated, good backbone, with velvety tannins. Long life ahead.
