Somehow I thought this was Cab Franc when I bought it at auction about four years ago. Popped and poured and it was clear right away that it wasn’t. Guessed Merlot after the first taste. A great wine and continued to improve over two nights.

This is really singing. Great fruit and structure balance. Can Pott do Merlot? Hell yeah.

Quite perfect, I have another bottle which will slumber for ten years. Should be epic!
