It’s nevertheless a beautiful wine in every sense. Based off 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot brought up in the usual 80% new barrels, it’s a full-bodied, beautifully textured, seamless Cabernet Franc with loads of red currant, blueberry, and mulberry fruit as well as notes of cedary herbs, flowers, camphor, and new saddle leather. Always a singular, distinct wine given its high percentage of Cabernet Franc, it’s brilliantly concentrated and has ultra-fine tannins as well as a great finish. Haut Couture at its finest, it’s going to benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age, and I suspect, keep for 30 years or more. 97+ (JD)
