"74% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Raspberry, blueberry, peony and bitter chocolate aromas, very pretty. The palate is fleshy on the attack, then hunkers down on the mid-palate, through which runs a herbaceous, minty seam, with fine but rather drying tannins. This score may prove conservative.
C&B Score: 16.5-17
