Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, licorice and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and blue fruits with light wood, tobacco leaf, vegetables, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, graphite and dark coffee.
This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Estephe still feels young and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good by itself and will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 15 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Tight, tannic, a fair bit of Brett. Probably needs another 8-10 years to unravel. Like most BDX, will reward the patient..,,

Very pronounced nose with juicy cherries bursting through, pepperish and meaty as well. On the palate the fruits are more subdued dominated by tertiary flavors - dried herbs, forest leaves, a bit of smoke. Reminds me of a late Autumn afternoon in the woods.
