Quite a brooding wine for the vintage, with lots of bold tannins. Full-bodied and tannic, with good structure and a mid-palate that's slightly weaker than the tannins. Compact, with a medium-long finish. 50% merlot., 43% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com
