About this product

TASTING NOTE : A dense plum / ruby / purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of chocolatey black cherry and black currant fruit intertwined with a notion of wood smoke . Fashioned from a blend of 92 % Merlot and 8 % Cabernet Franc , it is a round , opulent , pure , elegant effort created by Michel Rolland ' s top assistant , Jean - Philippe Fort , and proprietor Jean - Philippe Janoueix . Drink it over the next decade or more . Score : 91 ( Robert Parker Jr ., erobertparker . com , May 2011 )
