Tasting Notes

Blackberry, blueberry and orange-peel aromas. Full-bodied, round and powerful. Very layered and rich. So harmonious. A triumph from here. 50 per cent cabernet franc and 50 per cent merlot. Drink from 2022.

A blend of 52% Merlot and 48% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Acte 8 offers up understated, composed blackberries, mulberries and warm plums notions with touches of tobacco, tilled soil, allspice, pencil shavings and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate defies your expectations of restraint with wonderful vivacity and tons of bright red and black fruit sparks, supported by firm, grainy tannins and finishing on a pensive minerally note.
