  Nearly four years since I opened one, and this is ageing rather glacially. I enjoyed it on night #1, but enjoyed it even more on night 2 as the acids were more in balance with the fruits. Great sense of place and grape in a very elegant, really pure style. I'd love to revisit this in 5-6 years; the tertiary qualities should be rather lovely. recommended

  We drank these a while back and they were delicious. I wish I had more.

  Still very youthful, with oodles of spicy dark cherries and blackcurrant, again very St.Julien in character, so perhaps not the most typical expression of CF, but the breadth and creaminess really are impressive.

  This bottle is spot on. Deep in color with just a hint of garden vegies that are surrounded by a lovely core of dark red fruits. It’s all in balance and just a lovely glass of wine. This showcases the most elegant side of Cabernet Franc that I’ve had. The only drawback is that it takes years to reach this point. One of the best bottles that I’ve had in a long time. Truly great tonight.
