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.

良い感じに熟成が進んでちょうど飲み頃だったと思う。タバコ、土、湿った葉の第三アロマ、オークからのアロマも綺麗に溶け込んでいる。酸しっかり、タンニンもほどほどで心地よく落ち着くワイン。家飲み用としてはとても良い。
