Deep dark rich round no sign of the dreaded capisin and otherwise solid. I'm sure if you're a Cab Franc fan you would score this higher but this particular grape never really excites me.

We found a few bottles of this at Enfin du Vin fairly near Saumur, this is all about the concentrated blackcurrant fruit, it still need some air and is a few years away from prime time but I think this will be gorgeous when it gets there

Smokier / darker than the Sensei. The wood is a little too prominent right now - overwhelms the fruit and makes the wine really drying. Given time to mellow, I think this will be a really nice classically styled S-C.
