Beautiful merlot & Cabernet franc blend, great fruit velour, wonderful acid traction, ends with friendly fruit balance on fine chocolat tannins, yum!

Hopefully time will improve? Started strong 2 years ago, not sure it's headed the right direction. Still good balance, but fruit seems more faded than I expected based on early bottles...
