Nose of cake batter— vanilla, chocolate— is there any fruit there? Hard to tell, hiding behind a gigantic barrel of oak apparently. Texture, similarly, reminiscent of cake batter. Struggling through a glass of this and will try again tomorrow. Admittedly i often find this appellation heavy-handed but this…. Takes the cake.

Quite nice and off the beaten path for a fresher cabernet franc, not sodden or too tight. Clean and firm dark berries, slate, bit of zing (biodynamic). Vin de france and no region or cepage marked on the bottle, not sure what was done differently but the result paid off. Random purchase but would buy again.
