very rich and voluptuous, this has ripe blackberry fruit that has a roasted character, as if the berries spent a moment on the grill. it's deep and impressive, showing tiers of complexity, but it's also very tannic, with a dry, astringent kick that makes it seemingly undrinkable now. made from mostly cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, with a drop of petit verdot, it's a wine that needs considerable time in the cellar. hold until after 2018.
