Well built, with power, shape, and concentrated black fruit. A new kid on the block as far as quality is concerned. Modern wood and fruit flavors are currently dominated by new wood, but there's lots of good black fruit underneath. Perfumed aromas, with spicy fruit. A modern spicy-wood character gives style and charm rather than power.
Sweet fruit is the dominant characteristic.
Soft and ripe, the dusty tannins suggest that it will develop fast. But it should also be delicious. Structure dominates with the perfume of Cabernet Franc coming through. A wine for the long term. Enormous juicy fruit and developing wood.
