With floral and meaty elements, plus leather, spice and graphite, this red blend of classic Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc ) is indeed a vinous treasure. Although it’s potent enough to fuel a space shuttle the wine is so beautifully crafted, and so aptly balanced, that each sip begets an irresistible desire for another.
