  Agree with the barnyard comments -- after a 2.5 hr decant, still too much. Not to the extent I'd call it a fault; the wine was pleasant to drink; but too much barnyard.

  a nice ripe but fresh cabernet franc. nose with black currants and some sour cherries. animal hints, some green bell pepper typical of the variety, but not at all green. Palate is ripe but present tannins. Nice freshness. Drinks perfectly now but can be left for a few more years in the cellar.

  Det grønne element fylder mere, nu hvor frugten er dæmpet. Fremstår mere umoden. Vente et par år mere inden sidste flaske

  Ripe and approachable already. Quite nuanced. Cherry, wild raspberry, ripe bell pepper, wood, coffee, peony, barnyard. Medium grippy tannins that evolve towards more powdery on day 2. Really nice expression of cab franc that I expect should improve over the next 5 years at least. A few hours decant strongly recommended if drinking now.
