Score: 17/20. “A powerful blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot with no shortage of finesse: cassis, herb and chocolate nose, lively texture, very full yet also polished, with a lingering berry jam and spice finish.”

“A firm, attractive blend of cabernet franc,
cabernet sauvignon and petit Verdot that
shows black olives, blue fruit, walnuts and
chocolate. It’s medium- to full-bodied with
chewy tannins. Drinkable now, but better
with a little more time in the bottle. Drink
or hold.”
