A silky, flowing palate and a gentle, lingering finish with a beautiful deep garnet hue. On the nose anise and raspberries with back-notes of wild herbs and roses. The palate flows smoothly and firmly from beginning to middle to end with a texture of washed silk.96 Points - James Suckling� � Plenty of spicy dried berries, iodine and light earth. Bark and lead pencil, too. Medium to full body and firm, polished tannins. Savory, so complex and long. 61% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 13% cabernet franc, 6% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Gorgeous now.�93 Points - Decanter� � The aromas are quietly enticing, subtle and savoury. Some blackberry and black cherry fruit overlies the wine�s closely woven, structured, satisfying flavours. There�s nothing ostentatiously voluptuous or sweet about this Bordeaux blend; instead it puts you in mind of field and forest.
