(50% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot) The nose shows notes of black fruits (cassis, blackberry), violets, pepper and spices due to Cabernet Franc. Also a small woody note and a little bit of austerity on the nose. The palate is well-structured, balanced and fleshy reveals notes of black fruits (black cherry, blackcurrant), red cherry, strawberry and pepper slight. A little minerality on the palate. The finish is fresh and reveals the Petit Verdot. The tannins are well made.
