Very good for the price. Subtle flavors of wood spice, rock black fruits, and pencil lead. Structured and long.

The label reads : 50% cabernet Sauvignon, 40% merlot, 10% petit verdot but I could have named cabernet franc on the nose as there is a bit of a vegetal thing like green pepper. There is black pepper too, red and black currant, that's not a typical nose. The palate is made of a very strong acid drive which lasts for a long time. The same vegetal note along with red and black currant, as if it would have been harvested a bit too early, but some nice weight and width, some good grip, lively tannins which dry things up before the ending and some fruit before a bitter layer along with a salty,, meaty final note. This is not bad but I can't help but think it could have faired better without hat vegetal thing.
