80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet ruby with slight brick at the rim, showing a slightly jammy bouquet with aromas of redcurrant, cranberry, violet, red florals, rose, leather, saddle, meaty notes, dark plum, eucalyptus, moss, mushroom, tree bark, and dark fruit compote. The palate is rich yet controlled with flavors of blackberry, blueberry, black plum, red cherry, black currant, black pepper, thyme, white pepper, black jelly bean, pastry, dark chocolate, walnut, sherry-toned mushroom, forest floor, toasted almond, and cooked blackberry with a subtle gamey edge. Dry with medium acidity, medium-plus chalky tannins, medium-plus body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a medium-plus poised, tensile finish. Well-balanced and mature, this shows classic Right Bank structure with integrated savory development, polished fruit, and impressive depth.

Food Pairing:   Roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom bourguignon, aged cheddar, venison stew, chargrilled steak, rosemary potatoes, truffle dishes, hard cheeses
