This is an esteemed, sophisticated blend of the major Bordeaux grape varieties, with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon leading the charge. The palate is dense and layered with juicy huckleberry and cassis, supported by an almost everlasting and spice-driven finish. Decant for at least an hour if drinking young or cellar for 5-10 years. 97 pts Jeb Dunnuck
