| Medium-deep violet-tinged red colour The nose is gently complex, fairly intense and spicy with mostly Damson plums with some faintly herbal crancherry notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, faintly herbal, still somewhat tight, bright, crancherry flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, faintly cedary finish. This 2018 has 88% Cabernet Franc and 12% Merlot with a lower 13% alcohol (vs. 13.5% for the 2016) and 2 g/L residual sugar.
