Glossy. Limpid. Nice graphite notes, a hint of walnut and walnut oil. Fresh. The acidity is a little elevated. But there’s a pleasing harmony to this and the tannins are well-managed and very fine grained. A touch of liquorice at the end (a grating perhaps, not a whole stick!).
Rich fruit with dark plums, cherries, white pepper and spices. Medium- to full-bodied with some lightly chewy tannins and a tight-grained finish. Not quite dense, but there is enough richness, structure and intensity. Good length. 94% merlot and 6% cabernet franc.
