96 Points - James Suckling

Packed with chalky energy, this wine combines rich, vibrant blackberry fruit with hints of cocoa powder, dried herbs and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied, it features tightly wound tannins that balance restrained opulence with freshness and precision. Deeply structured and highly impressive, it is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now or cellar for further development.
