Easy going, juicy and still quite youthful four years after harvest. Dark berries, blackcurrant leaf and just enough tannin to make it go well with food.

Even though I am not a huge fan of Cabernet Franc, this is nice enough, especially at around 14 degrees celsius. At that temperature it feels fresh, with cherries, blackcurrant and wild raspberries, a little bell pepper and tobacco. Very little tannins. CT average of drink latest 2018 is a huge exaggeration, I think this will be good for 2020 if stored well.

Smooth and generously fruited with excellent aromatic typicity, medium acidity and liquorice saltiness. Less lactic, it would have been even better. Still a very good companion to charcuterie.
