Deep ruby. A Cabernet Franc dominant blend. Classy dark berry fruit aromas with crushed earth minerality and bitter chocolate. Very inviting. The palate is sweetly fruited on the attack, with a mouth-puckering saltiness on the mid-palate, which sets off the plush blackberry fruit nicely. The solar character of the vintage is discernible, but it has retained a lively acid backbone. Supple tannins, with just the right amount of grip round off a characterful and rather delicious wine.
