Aromas of dark berries, violets, graphite, cedar, and spice lead to a refined palate with silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and remarkable complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pairs best with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, venison, duck, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA big, bold wine with unbelievable power and concentration. Low yields and a dominance of Cabernet Franc have produced an immensely concentrated wine. Still very young, this magnificent wine holds the promise of great aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is so deep and almost endless with dried strawberries, blueberries, and incense. Citrus too. Some prunes. Full body, with chewy yet polished tannin quality and tension. Beautiful focus and balance with a richness and delicacy at the same time. Something almost Burgundian. It's the purity of fruit. 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot. Try in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery sappy and intense, offering racy red licorice, red currant and violet notes, with nice taut acidity and a long, minerally finish.

Full-bodied, the palate has a very racy line of acidity and well-played, chewy tannins supporting the maturing fruit, finishing with an herbal lift.
