Le Desir's bright and youthful appearance and compelling nose present crunchy blackberry, fresh pomegranate seed, black plum and blueberry. However, the real star is the floral and herbal signature of Cabernet Franc, which comes alive on the nose and the palate. Fresh rhubarb, dried rosemary, fresh cut flower stems, fresh violet blossoms, fresh green coffee beans all come together to form a signature which might be mistaken for an expressive vintage of Cabernet Franc from Saint-Emillion. Only on the palate does this wine truly reveal its Sonoma County parentage, showing a full compliment of New World fruit. While compelling now, 2011 Le Desir will truly blossom with time"

Sensational with short rib and polenta; harmonious, complex, a perfect Chateauneuf drinking well now but will last. 95.

Just fabulous almost 50 years later. It actually took some time to open after pouring and then blossomed with a gorgeous nose and a two-three minute finish that was delicious. A beautiful example of an aged Bordeaux.
