Popped and decanted for 30 mins before approaching. Very muted fruit flavors with a somewhat sharp finish, which was surprising given the cab franc content. I had high hopes this wine would evolve and open over time, having tasted it many years ago. Sadly I am left to conclude that this is just a marginal effort with a premium price tag.

Consumed on election night! Seemed lacking fruit and a bit hot for this varietal. May wait a few years for the next bottle or hold a longer decant. On the upside, powerful and silky.

Drinking at its peak right now, tannins are fully resolved, silky smooth and attenuated dark fruits and cherry.
