Made with 24% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot, 14% Sangiovese, 6% Alicante and 5% Syrah, this opens with subdued aromas suggesting ripe black-skinned fruit, toast and coffee. The palate offers black cherry jam, espresso and oak-driven spice alongside polished tannins. It's a bit shy on freshness, so drink soon.
