Lots of finesse but also displaying the power and opulence of the vintage. Plum, cassis, mocha, cigar box, leather and espresso notes are most prominent. Gaining more length and red fruit character with air. Acid and tannins are fine tuned and already showing elegance. Lovely.

Rich and opulent, red & black fruits, kind of fleshy but really focused too w/med+ acidity; chocolate too; hard to put down. 70 Merlot 30 cab franc. At $36 from garagiste: a steal.
