BDX blend with 65% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc. grippy tannins, and leathery. Fruit quite constrained. Let’s see how this bottle evolves with more air. Upped it to 90 points with two hours of air - tannins mellowed out and cassis and red fruit evolved. Nice.

Blend of 65% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc and rest Cab Sauvignon, deep Ruby color with aromas of dark black fruits, and a herb spice nose. On the palate flavors of blackberry, currant and cherry, with licorice, tobacco and burnt herbs. Fine grainy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, smoky spice and earthy mineral notes.

The best of the wine selection in the self-pour section of the Charles de Gaulle Airport AirFrance lounge, this wine is smooth-drinking with restrained currant, pepper, and chocolate flavors.

Big. Needs more structure to support the plush Merlot. Easy enough to drink, but might as well be from California.
