Truly superb, this blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has a saturated purple color and a gorgeous nose of blackberry liqueur intermixed with charcoal, violets, and subtle new oak. Elegant yet powerful and full-bodied, with great flavor precision and purity, this splendid effort manages to combine the appellation's delicacy with impressive levels of concentration and power. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.

A very flashy, hypermodern style, with lush mocha, steeped blueberry and warm fig confiture aromas and flavors, carried by lush mocha-, espresso- and ganache-fueled structure. Long and very grippy through the finish, but with succulent flesh. Shows great drive and energy, though totally atypical in approach. Best from 2014 through 2028. 750 cases made. –JM
