(Breton Bourgueil Clos Senechal) This showed stunning on this particular night. Deep nose of young, fresh Cabernet Franc fruit along with a compelling herbal note, tree bark and other earthier, primal elements. The palette was exceptional with deep, ripe Cabernet Franc fruit along with dazzling freshness and purity. Young and tannic but gloriously ripe and generous. Really hit this wine on a good day.
