Plum and mint. A whiff of earth and subdued oak related spices. Quaffable Bordeaux Merlot, the 15% Cab Sauv not really coming through for me

Full-bodied, Very fruit forward, drinking well at this young age after a short decant. Plum, blueberry, vanilla with some earthy and tobacco-like notes. Acid and tannin hold up very well, overall very balanced with a long juicy afterhall.
