Decanted for 2 hours. Aroma was quite pronounced. Taste had lots of dark fruit, plum, a little Earth and spice (chili pepper). Smooth and balanced with minimal acidity. Give this bottle to 91 Points. Good QPR.

This is huge right now with very firm tannins. Finish of black cherry lingers a bit. But it needs time or a half-day decant. It unfortunately lacks the nuances I so enjoy with Cab Franc except for the very end where I get some rose petals. Next in 2023 or later.

Very nice. Dropping it a point to 90, but this is based on a PnP. Once it decants and I get my Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese sandwich to pair up with, I’m sure it will be better!

Similar to the Previous bottles. Nice taste, spice, mixed fruit, tannins were softer. Long finish. Delicious and this is still getting better and better. Glad I got 3 more today.

Moving this back to 90 Points. This bottle just seemed to have a little too much spice at the end for me. Otherwise this was a nice example of CF.
