James Suckling96 pts

Blackberry, raspberry, violet and cedar on the nose. It’s full-bodied with vivid acidity. Savory and fleshy. Well structured with firm tannins. Aging will bring harmony. Blend of 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Try after 2024.

Hold

Dry conditions in second half favored clay and limestone soils. Some beautiful examples but inconsistent overall; late-ripening Cabernet Franc a key player
