includes 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot and 2% petit verdot) Bright red. Pungent aromas of redcurrant, cherry compote, licorice and smoky herbs. Sappy, nicely focused red fruit flavors become spicier with air and are supported by tangy acidity. Finishes with good nervy persistence and a faintly bitter quality. Give this some air or a year or two of bottle age.
