really nice woodiness surrounding surprising depths of brambly berries. hints of mushroom and moss — damp undergrowth of some sort, anyway. turned out really well alongside a simple broiled steak with shallot and portobello.

Lovely dark chocolate touch: Tipically Cabernet Franc mix with cigar box, leather and green peppers aromas. In other hand, velvety Merlot texture escaped away. Secondary red fruits pleasant smells. Medium bodied wine, not much gliceric neither hottie (say, cause vintage). All right anyway. Matching with bolognesa sauce tagliatelle but I missed smoking, my old vice.
Con un rico toque a chocolate amargo; Típicos aromas a CF con caja de puros, cuero y pimientos verdes. De otra mano, la aterciopelada textura del merlot se escapó hace tiempo. Olores secundarios a frutos rojos. Vino de cuerpo medio ni muy glicérico ni calentito (Lo digo por la añada). Correcto de todas formas. Maridando unos tagliatelle con salsa boloñesa pero he echado de menos fumar, mi viejo vicio.

Not enjoyable. Wouldn't bother again. Too simple.

Nice wine for the price. Cigar box, cedar and dried fruit on the nose. Smooth finish. Drank with Tony and Enzo at the lake.

Medium body, decent mouthfeel, dark. Nice fruit, some earth, but not a lot going on.
