A bit more fruit dominant tonight than it was three years ago but still very excellent. Cooked with a glass of it so the rest went pretty quick. Very good and I wish I had some more.

I can se how people like the vegetal of Cab Franc, but in this warm vintage the Cab franc shouldn't be so Green that it tastes like somebody put a shot of juniper flavored gin in your bordeaux. Chewing through desert shrubs and bitter ivy just isn't good vegetal and enjoyable bitter at the end. The good 2009 fruit was up front but wine fell apart as it warmed and received more air.

In the glass 1.5 hours before tasting. Dark fruit profile with spice, touch of mocha and iodine and something else on the finish which I can only say was slightly dusty and good.
Nice QPR. Second glass 3 hours after opening was even better.
Drink now with decant but may age well for several years.

Very Enjoyable wine. I get a nose of blueberry with a hint of cherry. Nice lush but subdued pallet of plum, raisin and spice overtones. Long finish. Glad I have a few more of these.
