Friday, June 24, 2016 - Upon opening this showed quite green and peppery, likely from the cab franc and petite verdot. But after a couple hours this pulled together quite well. Nose was quite exotic, with tobacco leaf, dark fruit, and leafy herbs. Palate with dried red and dark fruits, quite deep, with the cab franc showing through. Lengthy finish. To me this showed more like a right bank bdx than left, with polished light tannins and strong cab franc influence. Really terrific and well evolved since my last bottle 6yrs ago.
