Drinking well now Medium body, green tomato and soft red fruit. Interesting secondary notes Probably the best NY State Cab Franc I've had (only an n of 5 though)

Not a huge fan of this Chateau in many years, but this is a good one. Major benefit from 2 hours in the decanter as initially I found it austere with tannins eclipsing the fruit With time it developed a lovely dark fruit/green tomato nose and the on the palate the fruit shone thru with black raspberry leading the way. The tannins became more subtle and fine It has many years ahead of it I would say
