"...A blend of 78% Merlot and the rest primarily Cabernet Franc with a small dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon...This stunning effort reveals one of the most extraordinary aromatic displays of the vintage
offering up notes of sweet roasted herbs
jus du viande
black olives
espresso roast
creme de cassis
and kirsch liqueur. Extremely full-bodied
opulent
and lavishly textured with plush tannin as well as an ethereal elegance
a sublime personality
glorious sweet purity
and a layered texture...Anticipated maturity: 2010-2028."
