Coufrans exceptional charm lies in its approachability when young without sacrifice of longevity. Its deep color and earthy, aromatic black fruit fragrance are distinctively Merlot, and are confirmed on the palate with cassis and raspberry flavors set in a firm but ripe tannic structure marked by a seductive, fat richness that is not without elegance. These carry into a long, luscious finish of considerable harmony.
