aromas of graphite, black currant, plum, cedar, blue flowers and tobacco emerge from this full-bodied red. made with cabernet franc and a drop of petit verdot, the structured palate offers blackberries, licorice, clove and a toasted note alongside velvety tannins. it shows great finesse, especially for the torrid 2011 vintage. drink 2016–2026.
