Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot is a soft, round, medium to full-bodied wine with lots of earthy black cherry and black currant fruit as well as some background oak and earth undertones. The wine has pleasant, soft tannins and is ideal for drinking over..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This delivers textbook St.-Julien notes of cassis, briar, roasted apple wood and charcoal, along with dark plum character and a winey, slightly tarry finish. Should be a solid, short-term ager as the grip is just loosely knit enough. Best from 2013 through 2020."
