A Bordeaux blend, with Cabernet Franc as its foundation It is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
Almost opaque with ruby edge in glass and mouth filling. Both rich and elegant with mulberry cigar and graphite hints. Well structured tannins and a delight.
Decanted and wine evolved over next hour or so.
Good stuff 👍
