Pnp. Medium diffused ruby-garnet in colour. Nose of red cherries with tobacco, plums, green bell peppers and hints of cinderblocks. On the palate, there are herby red berries with chewing tobacco and touches of dark chocolate; green bell peppers are noted throughout. Medium bodied with a medium finish. The cab franc has taken a front seat since my last tn from March 2017.

This is all about the green notes and especially bell pepper, also some savory notes along fresh red fruit. Quite elegant, but the tannins are challenging still. I wonder if the fruit can keep up with the structure, since this needs some more years. 16.5+/20

Quite a lovely wine. Soft, a bit lush. No bombastic Napa cab characteristics, just soft spice with red and black fruit on the nose, nice balance and depth in the mouth and a lengthy, mouth-watering finish. Well worth the present market price.

Beautifully smooth and rich, yet not overwhelmingly big. Great with grilled rib-eye steaks

Drinking wonderfully. Smooth, velvet like feel. Lots of green pepper notes, red fruit. Drink now
