Aged so beautifully with dark boysenberry notes, touch of vanilla and perhaps nutmeg. After cellaring for ten years, structure is still superb a with an appealing nose and soft finish. Glad I have one more bottle of this vintage.

Drank nicely over two days. Nose has a good mix of rich red fruit, herbs and a trace of bell pepper. Medium bodied palate is well balanced and shows some layers. Soft tannin provide a smooth grip on the finish.

The last one of these that we had. The fruit has probably faded a tad from where it was a few years back, but nicely integrated with softening tannins. Still a wonderful bottle of wine. One the best cab Franc's you've probably never heard of.

Time to drink, ever so slight fading but still very nice. Enjoy now.
