Purchased 18 months ago and cellared. Plummy nose, with the peppery alcohol alongside. Full, jammy sweetness, unlike most cab francs I have tasted from the region; some heat, though it finishes dry without an alcoholic burn. Quite enjoyable and held up well.

Wow, does this ever need time to breathe! Sharp and a little sour straight out of the bottle, quite tannic. Given 90 minutes to breathe, however, and it changes into a lush, complex red, more of a sour cherry mixed with slate, completely dry.

Despite the age, all a wonderful wine. Deep gold, honeysuckle, honeyed flavor as well, quite dry, a slight sour note, but rounded and full.
