Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Merlot (27%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petite Verdot (7%). Dark ruby color. Aromas of black bramble fruit, forest floor, purple flowers and leather. Concentrated black cherry/berry fruit flavors with additional notes of mushrooms, figs, tobacco and sweet and savory spices. Bit of minerality on the long and lingering finish. Rich, powerful and dense. Nice oak integration and mouth drying tannins. Well structured and firm/noticeable acidity. Just a bit past peak but still an outstanding drink. So well crafted. Thank you so much for sharing, Keith S.
