Robert Parker Rating 90-92 Inky/purple to the rim, this wineÂs exceptionally low acidity gives it a fleshy, fat textural profile. With 14.5% alcohol, it is a blend of 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Concentrated, dense, chewy, broad, and almost New World-ish, it should evolve quickly given its low acidity, but there is so much concentration, it should last for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. Wine Spectator Rating 89-91
Slightly jammy character but some decent berry and tobacco character. Licorice. Medium-to-full body. Medium tannins. Thick finish. Could turn out very serious indeed. 4,610 cases made Decanter Rating
