The 2015 Château Ascension is a lovely blend of 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc which slowly unwinds to release gorgeous aromas of ripe blackberries and red cherries followed by spring florals, spices, graphite and hints of toast. Is it beautifully balanced and structured with a lovely velvety texture which leads into the long, elegant finish. This is an exceptional value and an excellent wine that will be approachable early, yet has the potential to age nicely over the next decade. (Best 2019-2027) - October, 2017 (JD)
