Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 17.5+
65% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot. Barrel sample. Compact, dense and structured but just a little austere at present. Fresh and lifted with a hint of tea and floral notes, depth of fruit and finely matted texture but everything reined in, the plentiful tannins subdued behind. But nothing in excess. Just a slow burner. Undoubted ageing potential. (JL)
