  I was not impressed with this CF earlier. It has come into its own. Delicious varietal character, well balanced and complex. It took longer to mature than I expected, but then I do not drink this variety very often.

  Had the 1st bottle in ‘19 and a 2nd bottle tonight 3 years later. The first was not in a good place and 4 years was still too young. This bottle has more structure, strong tannins, and fruit, but still a hot finish which dominates the palate. Am hoping that in a few years 3rd and last bottle of this wine will show better.

  Rough and acid, decent varietal flavor. Went well with a complex red spaghetti dish but not really our thing. After 90 minutes it suddenly smoothed out and integrated, then much more approachable but with loss of complexity. I guess I am not a CF fan anyway.

  PnP, consumed over three hours. More fruit and less green on the nose and palate than many Cab Francs. Tannins are present but approachable, and soften more with a bit of air.

  I like this wine. Lots of character and plenty of backbone to pair with a meal of substance like braised short ribs. On its own it’s a big wine. I’d recommend a decant to get this wine to open up.
