2010 vintage. Great nose with hints of chocolate. Good legs, decanted for about 4 hrs. Big and complex. Cassis and tobacco and dark berries.

Merlot/Cabernet Franc Right Bank Blend. Intense aromas of black fruit, mushroom and graphite. Dark fruit pallet with that note of pencil shavings and smoke on the finish. Smooth texture and reasonably firm tannins. Excellent!

30+ minute decant. Dark red color. Nose has cherries and medicinal elements. Sour cherries dominate the palate. Big wine and too much alcohol at 14.5%. Medium minus finish. Very disappointing! Tasted like a £15 wine. Better juice out there.

Needs to age a little more . Has 15% cab franc but not evident with the taste.
