  November 17, 2019 - initial impression poured chilled and with salami is yum.
  
  smells like ripe berries and a little floral stuff going on.
  
  palate is fruit forward def getting little of that vegetal cab franc character on the mid back. balanced and a treat. liking it a lot.

  September 8, 2019 - Easy going, juicy and still quite youthful four years after harvest. Dark berries, blackcurrant leaf and just enough tannin to make it go well with food.

  January 27, 2019 - Even though I am not a huge fan of Cabernet Franc, this is nice enough, especially at around 14 degrees celsius. At that temperature it feels fresh, with cherries, blackcurrant and wild raspberries, a little bell pepper and tobacco. Very little tannins. CT average of drink latest 2018 is a huge exaggeration, I think this will be good for 2020 if stored well.

  December 15, 2018 - Smooth and generously fruited with excellent aromatic typicity, medium acidity and liquorice saltiness. Less lactic, it would have been even better. Still a very good companion to charcuterie.
