  February 4, 2024 - A favourite Cab Franc of mine over the years - I still have the '76 in my cellar!
  2 bottles 90min aerated decant together. Dry spice, some green bell pepper and a core of ripe red hedge fruits and black cherry. The fruit became more prominent as time passed reaching perfect balance after 3 hours (excellent late night sipping!). Good length.
  Will hold my remaining bottles till '26. Window 2026-2031?+. 91+pts

  October 21, 2023 - Medium ruby color. It smells fresh and not tired. red fruit with vegetal influence, earthy. medium body and still some tannin left, . The finish has little sour, mushroom taste, not my favorite finish but can go well with food.

  June 11, 2022 - Starting to mature beautifully. Very drinkable, drying out slightly but with good fruit and balance.

  April 26, 2021 - Slow ox for one hour. Notes of cranberry, cherry, bell pepper and black pepper. Light, transparent with limited tannin. This is a solid early drinker but the fruit feels a little too reticent. Hard to tell whether this is going to get better with time or dry out. Have a few more bottle so will try another a little while.
