OK nose. Light bodied. Tactile tannin. Medium+ acidity. Liquid mouth (not viscous ). Like a cru Beaujolais with the nose of Bdx varietals. And some savory raspberry. 90+. Can drink now.

My most recent bottle suggests this is coming around a little quicker, but still has tons of time. The nose is tight, smoke, green herbs, a little alcohol. The palate is rounding, big but less extracted, smoother. A long tart finish. Exactly what you expect.

I was worried about this one. It came off as extracted and closed, without it being clear it had the stuffing to come around. However, my most recent bottle shows hope. It is still closed but shows rich earthy cab franc notes. This could be great in time. Hold 10 years.

idk about that, but it was an adequate bottle of wine. perhaps a little simple for the title and for the $19 price, but ya it drinks good and tastes like cab franc. perhaps a little neutered and tamed, but hey it's not trying to make itself out to be more... or is it?
