Notes
"A steal! Ridiculous pricing, frankly. This could be twice as expensive and still offer exceptional value. Will age beautifully, as attested by a strong back-vintage record. A meld of merlot and cab franc, indicative of the house's adoration of Bordeaux's right bank. Neatly iterated as damson plum, redcurrant, licorice, cedar, a waft of mocha, dried tobacco and a smattering of herb. Tannins are supple but pliant, and beautifully aligned. Finishes lustrous and long without an ounce of heaviness or unnecessary cladding. Could be touch riper, but lovely all the same."
