Didn't take notes (save 1/2 bottle so will post something if I can remember). More advanced in age than the '07 vintage - a little thin but nice plum,black currants, and tobacco. 90+/-
Would drink this sooner rather than later. Didn't note the herbal/pyrazines that you get from Cab Franc this time.

From memory. Beautiful and intense cabernet franc, dark fruit and significant tannins, no brett noticed. Seemed very young and overpowered our beef stroganoff.

Clear garnet. Nose of tart blackberries and plums, wet dirt and rocks. The palate is vibrant, strong black and blue fruit, brambleberry, hint of wet forest. The finish is medium, tart edges and significant but civilized tannins, not especially profound, but excellent CF.

Seemed way too much younger than its actual age. This can go another 10 years easy, on its plateau. Very clean Loire cab franc flavors. Enjoyed this

Wholly without fruit. Just a big ball of acidity with a little bit of earth and cassis around the edges.
