Ripe Black cherries, currents, coffee, tar, tobacco and hints of violet notes. Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a firm structure. The finish has finesse and length. Still on the young side and will be even better in a few years. Composed of 70% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot and 2% petit Verdot. (Best 2014-2025) - October, 2012 (JD)
