"A blend of just over 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot, the opaque ruby/purple-colored 2009 reveals notes of scorched earth/burning embers/charcoal, black currants, ripe cherries and lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied and pure with sweet tannin, this is an under-the-radar, high quality claret to drink over the next 20-25 years." Wine Advocate #199, Dec 2011 |
