A ripe, juicy and fruity wine, this is already softening. Plenty of rounded Merlot flavors are stiffened by the wood-aging spices and the stalky black currant character of Cabernet. Drink this structured wine from 2018.

Too much wood aging yields a wine that is lean and lacks fruitiness. It has intense dark, burnt wood flavors and doesn't have the weight to round out.

Smooth and modern in character, with toast and sweet-tasting fruit notes, this is a wine that characterizes the New World school of Bordeaux winemaking. It has extracted tannins and concentration, with a dark chocolate flavor. Aging will soften the extremes, so give it 3–4 years.

Dry and light, an unfocused wine. It has tannins, only light fruit, very dry and ultimately tough.
