  Medium to deep purple color. On the nose, at first intense black currant and black cherries. With the time it evolves, increase smell of licorice ad green bell pepper, very subtle and we'll balanced. Some oak notes, but still green. This can evolve still very well.
  On taste, very concentrated, black currant, some leathery and woody notes. Nice acidity and good structured tannins.
  Med too long finish. Excellent bottle, this can evolve further to the nest stage.

  This heavily extracted monster of a wine reminds me of a Leovile Barton 2003 circa 2015.
  The wine shows a super concentrated nose of dark chocolate, cocoa powder, purple flowers, wet earth, sous bois, graphite and tobacco. Dark bitter chocolate and macerated black cherries on the palate.
  Backward, super concentrated and closed for the business at the moment the wine needs another 10 years when I am sure it will be a candidate for one of the best Cab Francs in the world.
