On the first day this was a bit too warm - very typical (as noted several times) slightly "green" cabernet nose, but otherwise quite uninteresting and broad. On the second day I tried it cooler- much better, fresher, the herbal notes were less strong, pretty red fruits on nose an palate, fresh acidity and long finish. A wine with character and a lot of life in it. Drink or hold.

This wine has a specific 'green' quality, might be typical for Cab Franc (I am just guessing). There is plenty of red fruit and a nice mouthfeel. It is very distinctive and probably not really a crowd pleaser but to me, a really good food wine. Drank the second half of the bottle two days after opening and it was still going strong.

Tastes slightly green in the beginning but opens up nicely with more time. This is nice food wine, nothing fancy. Serve cool and decanting an hour wouldn't hurt. Served with a couple of cheeses. Nice!

Still going strong. I am sad this was the last bottle. Went very, very well with cold meats.
