Given its age, I didn't know what to expect with this wine, but I was pleasantly surprised. A nice Cabernet Franc that was balanced and still exhibited fruit. It was nice on palate and had a nice finish. The drawback is that it did not have depth, but I am inclined to believe that that is a function of its age. Had we drunk it earlier, I think it would shown much more and merited a higher score. That said, it was an enjoyable wine.
