"Flashy style, with lots of black tea, fig, sweet toast, black currant, bittersweet chocolate, plum and blackberry compote aromas and flavors. Long and lush, this is concentrated, but stays balanced and alluring. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2006."
Best 2004-2006

"Still not mature, needed an hour or so to open up. And when ready to go - not super balanced. Why blend in Malbec? Concentrated. Wonderful plum, chocolate and sweet blackberry flavours. Drink 2015-2020. "
