| This blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec has a deep intense purple colour. Fairly spicy, ripe plum and red licorice nose. Dry, medium bodied, bright, plummy, ripe red cherry flavours with a lingering, tangy, red licorice finish. Better than the 2004 (*+/**) released on January 5, 2008 at $20.80. |

| A blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Malbec. TASTING NOTE: (Translated from the French) Many qualities on the nose and the palate. It displays a very elegant bouquet of jam, cocoa and underbrush. It’s very intense in the mouth. It offers roasted spices and melting tannins. Nice length. At its best during the next 6 years. Score – ** (out of 4). (www.1001degustations.com, June 2008) |
