This wine is tough, extracted and still very bitter. The fruit is there, well behind the tannic front in this Merlot/Malbec blend. Give the wine until 2017 and decant although it is likely to remain tough. A Châteaux Solidaires wine.

Vanilla and caramel flavors dominate this wine after 12 months in French oak. That means that the fruit is really not allowed to shine. It is firm, very dry and all about spice. A pepper flavor from the alcohol leaves a burn in the mouth.
