Dried out right now but may come around. The astringent tannins are juicy in some ways, focusing a mid-weighted palate of red fruit scents. Gives me faith. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Drink now or hold.

(made from a blend of 44% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 15% cabernet franc, 7% malbec and 4% petit verdot): Bright red. High-pitched aromas of redcurrant, cherry and spicecake, with a touch of tobacco and a strong mineral quality . Aeration brings up a darker cassis quality, which adds depth to the tangy red fruit and candied rose flavors. Very pure, concentrated and focused but on the youthfully tight side, finishing with excellent cut and lingering spiciness. This really should be left alone for at least another seven years. Two thousand eight was a very early harvest here, by the way, and this wine comes in at 12.8% alcohol.

A five-variety Bordeaux blend based on cabernet sauvignon. Dark red. Intense mineral, floral bouquet of cherry, redcurrant, cedar and fresh rose. Clean and brisk, with vibrant red berry flavours intriguing graphite and iron accents and silky tannins. A wonderfully bright and focused wine with vibrant minerality on the long, spicy finish. This developed sweeter dark fruit flavours with air and it's all about elegance and focus.
