Decanted 30 minutes before drinking. Rich wine on the nose and palate. Changed throughout the evening. Dark berries, fennel, and a touch of cocoa. Well balanced and excellent concentration. Layered. Drinking well now and could continue to improve with more age.

Tasted blind: My first whiff and sip had me guessing a Bob Foley wine. It had that confectionary texture and super ripe fruit. The alcohol was too prominent though to merit a higher score and it became a bit too much by nights end. I still enjoyed it a bunch and would love to try another down the road to see if the alcohol integrates.

Perhaps a conservative score. This bottle was rocking. Deeply concentrated and complex. Way better than two other Hungarian cab francs tasted in the last week.

...think I should consume my other bottles sooner than later, although this wine has a long life ahead of it - just think it's already peaked and on a very slow decline.

No sign of decline. Deep, luxurious, special. A sparkling beauty.

Such a great bottle and reminds you of Pride, except it's more balanced and has less alcohol. Others would score this94-95.

What a great Cab Franc! Big like Pride's, but more elegant.
