A blend of 50% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, and 16% Malbec, this has a reductive and fairly intense nose of dark berry, currant, cocoa, oak spice, plum, and blackberry aromas. On the medium-full bodied palate it has tangy dark berry, currant, and cocoa flavours supported by fresh acids and firmly structured tannins. The finish is long and persisting with cocoa, oak spice, and savoury earth notes. Still quite young. Better after 3-5 years of cellar time. Tasted Apr. 2023.
