Grapes: Mer 57.5% CS. 42.5.
Tasting Note :
The wine is a deep dark black ruby color. Complex, it is forward fruity with pronounced oak, cassis and coffee nuances on the nose. Rich, medium-bodied, yet has a firm solid, almost tight structure with fine velvety tannins. Intense, balanced, fresh and elegant with great length, already approachable with great finesse. 96 Points. JKW04/17
