What do the experts say?

“

Jeff Leve (TWCI): "From a blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, licorice, espresso, smoke, damp earth and red berries open the perfume. Medium/full bodied with round, polished tannins, black cherries and oak on the palate, the finish reveals layers of juicy black fruits and more oak."
