The nose and the body on this wine... outstanding, at this point. The dark fruit from the Cabernet Franc really shows and provides a backbone to the Merlot. Based on the visual, based on the nose, and based on taste, this will age for many years.

Blackberry, Cherry tannins, anise, earthy. This is all within 30 minutes of opening. I imagine this will evolve and be better in one to two hours. Very bold wine, at this point...This will definitely age, as they say, like a fine wine . However, I didn't want to wait to post a review.

Will try this again in a few years. This is definitely a buy and hold.

15 minutes from wine cooler: tight, bright, yet smooth. Medium body and great backbone tannins. Definitely this will age well. Maybe another 5 yrs before it starts to really show.
