description: Oaky, fruity and tannic now, and not showing a great deal of attractiveness, but that's because it's a young wine badly in need of cellaring. Blended in equal parts of Merlot and the two Cabernets, and made with 70% new French oak, it's all unintegrated blackberries, cherries, violets, minerals, sweet cedarwood and vanilla spice. Quite a fine wine whose softly complex tannins will enable it to age. Try after 2011.
