  I said I’d leave the next one until 2025 but here I am in March 2024 and I’ve opened the second one. Completely consistent with the last time, in 2021, and still a decade of life, or more, ahead of it. Definitely no rush but it’s hard to resist right now.

  Another wine I haven’t had in years. Certainly a step up from previous tastings, but not the top vintage for MRdC.
  
  Still tight. Classical notes of cedar and cassis but not an epic vintage. Good glugger though.

  Drank too soon in my opinion… huge wine, that needs more time to soften and drop some of the greenness. But great structure and will last another 10 years.
  Bit pricey but will be a great wine

  A fabulous wine - lets get that straight.
  
  Graceful, fresh, & leafy Cab Franc character, combined with richness, weight a & power. Youthful purple, very deep, IMO.
  
  The nose is cassis, burnt toast & raspberry, leafy tobacco.
  
  While the nose is attractive, the palate is intense & exciting. Vibrant fruit, raspberry, cassis, black cherry, leads into a richness of hazelnut & milk chocolate, then delicate spice and blackcurrant leaf.
  
  High acidity, medium + ripe tannins, high alcohol which is already a joy to drink, but should improve.
