Very deep nose, rich and sumptuous, with coffee, leather minerals and terroir. Smooth on the palate, rounded tannins, very classy, with soft acidity.

87-89/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
(48% each merlot and cabernet sauvignon, with 2.5% cabernet franc and 1.5% petit verdot) Bright ruby-red. Fruit-driven aromas of currant and cherry lifted by a floral topnote. Juicy and firm on the palate, with complex flavors of currant, minerals, flowers, dark chocolate and currant leaf. The wine's acid spine and slight greenness give it a very fresh, vibrant character and contribute to the impression of structure. Finishes firmly tannic, with moderate persistence.
