A blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot, this wine defines the cult style of immediate softness and deliciousness. Aged in 100% new oak, it adds a layer of caramelized vanilla to the ultra rich blackberry, black cherry, red currant, chocolate, anise and exotic Indian spice flavors. Superb now, and should develop over the next six years.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 95
