This version of the French Winemaking Trial is a French version of the great Aussie red blend, 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Syrah. Maturation was for a year in a mix of American barriques (25% new) and French barriques (16% new). The remainder was all one year old.
There is a pleasing restraint here, though an underlying structure that is both powerful and concentrated. The nose reveals aromas of blackberries, coffee beans, black cherries, chocolate, mulberries, mocha, and spices. Those cherry notes persist throughout. The wine is well balanced, and the oak integration is proceeding well. A supple style of medium length and satiny tannins, the wine has a gentle lingering finish. It will provide attractive drinking over the next six to eight years. 93
