(14.4% abv; 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec) Bright, glossy. Rich, fruitcake nose, complex, oaky. Silky-smooth mouthfeel, less obviously ripe and dense than 2005, elegant style. Tannins crisp, alcohol warm, but lovely freshness on the palate. Good, mineral, chocolatey length. Interesting and delicious wine.
