  red fruit. Raspberry, & cherry on the nose and almost an air of hibiscus. Just a sweet perfume. The tannins have mellowed out with age & from the color you know it's a decade old. This is still firm in the mouth but still velvety and just rolls over the tongue. On the mid palate it comes back one more time and the finish while smooth and rewarding does not last as long as I like it to.

  Aroma: A very interesting and complex display of peppery spice (in a good way), violets, black jammy fruit, and a bit of cedar. Really nice bouquet.
  
  Flavor: Delicious blend of everything promised on the nose (gorgeous blackberry and cassis with a bit of floral essence) with nice acidity and tannic structure. Still young, but very good already.
  
  General impression: A terrific discovery! And at about $32-$36/bottle, it’s not necessarily an everyday wine but it’s certainly a wonderfully promising Cabernet Franc (one of my favorite varietals).
