A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2005 is a strong effort from this property, which usually performs inconsistently. This wine has a dense ruby/purple color and notes of black cherries, coffee, chocolate and deep red and black fruits. It is medium to full-bodied , still youthful, but close to maturity. This is a big, broad, masculine Pomerol to drink over the next 12-15 years.
