50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. A bit funky but I liked it. It has more character than other wine in that price range, a rarity for Bordeaux. The oak showed in a good way and was well integrated with the brambly fruit tones.

Cabernet, merlot, franc. Still rusty dark red, even after 16 years. Classic Bordeaux red. Cherry and vanilla are the predominant aromas. Warm spices of anise and burnt cinnamon are in the background. Good acidity and goes a little forest floor on the palette. Finishes with cola type notes and still has a good tannic structure. Went very well with braised pork shoulder over polenta cakes, Brussels sprouts and a portobello/sherry reduction
