This is drinking really well right now, but think it could still develop over another few years.
Fascinating nose- the Merlot (30%) and Cab Franc cut into the typica red fruit cab and deliver tart/ripe red apple skins, fresh dark earth & mushroom and harvested hay.
Nice acid delivers that promise of red apples. Medium long acid and surprisingly low tannins. I'm not a fan of the aftertaste though- too much oak in there.
