Nose

the perfume is marked by the Cabernet Franc with its herbal/menthol notes. In addition, there is an abundance of pain grille, spice box, licorice, and black currants. - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

Palate

Velvety-textured, the wine is super-rich, layered, and showy on the palate. There is plenty of ripe tannin to accompany the sweet fruit, and terrific length. Allow 6-8 years in the cellar and drink this brilliant effort through 2040. - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

Appearance

Purple-colored.
