Mainly Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc
Fresh garnet. Semi transparent. Compact rim.
The elegant bouquet of slightly licoriced red cherry, rosy perfume, cinnamon, earth and mushroom, and integrated cedary oak.
Relatively resolved palate though some traces of tannic structure still detectable, med to med plus acidity, dry. Red cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and red plum. Christmas fruit cake. Hint of tobacco smoke, tea leaf, and graphite.
Better lucky with this bottle than the previous one. No VA! 2/3 98 Cobin have been great. Classic Right Bankers are a dying breed, if not already extinct. 91.
