Remarkable cab franc for the price. Aromas of dark fruits, tobacco, earth, and leather. Notes of fennel, blueberry, and fig. Smooth tannins with a long finish. Ready to drink now. (BE 2019)

Decided to try a bottle ahead of schedule. After my first bottle of this 2016, I had decided to wait till 2019. So this is 5 months early and the wine was disappointing. The over sweetness has, indeed, calmed down, but now there is a bitter finish. Not tart. Like the taste of stems and seeds, maybe alcohol. This was a pop and pour. Will try tomorrow.

Deep blue red color. Sweet cherry and blueberry with graphite on the nose. Sweet at first with some acidity in the finish. I hope the unbalanced sweetness is because of the youth of this Wine. I had actually ordered the 2015, but there was a mixup with delivery. I like the 2015 right now. I will cellar the remaining bottles of 2016. Since the 2015 was good after 2-3 years, I will taste the 2016 again in early 2019. I might buy more if the 2017 is available in 2019 and the wine improves with age.
