Losing much of its fruit but claret aspects still holding together.

Blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc & 1% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruits, smoke and tobacco spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with notes of espresso, cacao and smoky spice. Fine tannins, long finish, good balance ending with fruit, leather and oak. Just starting to open, will continue to age.

Rather enjoyed this. Lovely and fresh with some spicy lift and refreshing raspberries. Will get better too.
