A blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Initially closed on the nose but an hour after decanting it started to open up. Aromatics of blackberry, plum and touches of tobacco and mocha. A gorgeous right bank palate of fleshy Merlot flavours. About as good as it is ever going to be but could sit on the plateau for several more years. Finishes with silky tannins. A lovely wine - must drink more aged Bordeaux.

A nose of Tuscan herbs and slight floral notes. Secondary of tobacco. Smooth wine on the palate - elegant and a lithe , long finish

Was a bit disappointing. I blame lack of decanting. Still, a great vintage and a strong wine.

A syrupy, oaky wine that overpowered the food... not to my taste.
