Delightful, with all the Cabernet Franc character that you want, elegantly presented with enough power to hold your attention. Can still age another 5-10 years. Delicious now.

From a small capped bottle (wine divided for zoom tasting). Day 2: soaring nose summer and sour cherries, lots of acid, savory, earth, tobacco, very crunchy with a good amount of pyrazines. Plaate entry is strong and very good - herbal tobacco, dusty minerals with supporting cherry fruit. High acid with great grip and poise. Really crunchy and juicy in the mid and end palate with tons of tobacco. Finish is herbal and dusty and dry. A bit tart. My favorite right now of the 08-09-10 trilogy tasted side by side. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17.5/20.

Superlative. Such an elegant, deep, and perfectly balanced cab franc. Supple fruit. Great vintage for Baudry. 5 more years to reach peak I'd say
