So structured, spicy and full, with generous fruit flavors and energizing tannins. It's a Bordeaux-style red blend that in this vintage contains ample amounts of malbec and petit verdot that provide extra structural spine and a nutty, toasty character. It lead with 65% cabernet sauvignon and also has lesser amounts of merlot and cabernet franc. Aged in 60% new French oak. Drink now or hold.
