Quite an earthy baked fruit nose. Entry is dark fruit and radish. A decent weight on entry but hollows out in the middle. Still a fairly strong finish a bit tannin and slightly spicy. This is frankly a bit flat and low in energy makes me believe it is a bit past its prime. Classic Cab Franc though. The strong entry and OK finish just demonstrate why it is a good blend partner in Bordeaux for a long term claret.

Not a strong nose but pleasant and well balanced fruit and sweet wood. Entry is nice and follows the nose profile nicely with a silky, rich weight. Finishes nicely if not really long with a bit of clean pepper and spice and light tannins. A very smooth, tasty wine at this point. On the downhill side I would say as it is missing a liveliness in the mouth. Classic Cabernet Franc.

Very nice strong earthy but entirely fruit driven nose. Black cherry and blackberry entry, a bit hin mid mouth but very tasty and complex. A nice slightly balsamic finish. Still strong tannn backdrop. Very good with a lot of time still left.
