Color: bright ruby - very clear
Nose: raspberry, anise, earth
Taste: raspberry, blackberry, tea, flowers
Tons of fruit upfront - raspberry, cherry, blackberry with a dash of vanilla and elegance- tea and flowers perhaps a finish of smoke:earth. Flavors hang around a bit - no tannins present.

This cab franc looks and smells delicious - the taste is a bit of a challenge - some fruit present but really secondary and tertiary flavors with tons of smoke. Will let it evolve a bit.

This wine is now fully integrated - all flavors blend though it dies feel a bit thin. Has a nice lingering finish.
This May be close to the end as the fruit seems to be fading.
