“A rich, supple, complex blend with excellent depth, firm structure, good balance, and a long, moderately tannic finish. A fuller style than previous releases, it tastes of cassis, plum, black olive, dark chocolate, and black licorice. Warrants aging. Excellent quality. 52% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. Unfined, unfiltered.”
