53/33/7/7 blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Dense purple red, highly extracted pigment. Butter, spearmint and black cassis aromas. Berry-cherry and pomegranate flavors with moderate acidity, alcohol. Moderate skin astringency on finish.

Inky dense purple in color. Butter, black currant and herb notes in nose with a hint of mint. Sage and blackberry flavors in mouth, blackberry finish with length. Later, cola flavor emerges. Fine grained seed tannins in finish. Nice complexity, a notch above.
