Assembly of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Beautiful aromas of exotic herbs, potpouri, blueberry jelly, red berries, toes of Cuban cigars, licorice and freshly ground cinnamon. Very full, rich and nicely concentrated. Layer above layer of fruit, subtle herbs and a huge length laced with minerality. What a wine! Something more exuberant in style than a Pétrus, which is a strength and complexity .
