(40% cabernet franc and 30% each of syrah and cabernet sauvignon) Deep ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays scents of cherry-vanilla, blackberry, licorice and musky herbs. Sweet, expansive dark fruit flavors show a liqueur-like quality accompanied by a jolt of oak spice. Finishes with very good clarity, punch and slow-mounting tannins. Pretty sexy and approachable now, with some aeration.
