Nose of tobacco, earth. Rich mouth. Fairly ripe fruit laden finish. Not my style for Cabernet Franc, but decent if you want a ripe expression of the varietal.

Second good bottle in a row after one that was not very good. I have 2022 down as the back end of the drink window. I believe that is still the correct last year.

My last bottle of this one.....consumed several months ago.....was a disappointment in relation to prior bottles. This bottle was back to being in the range of my prior experience. Who knows why?

88, at best. Something is off the rails. This has been one of the best values in my inventory. A bottle consumed 2-3 months ago was terrific, like prior bottles. This one was way off from that experience. I do have 2022 down as the back end year for the drink window, but it is not likely that this wine could have gone south this quick. I have two or three bottles left. I hope this was a one off experience.

Last bottle and one of the best. This wine has been a great value. The bottle was opened for about one and a half hours.
