Nose is dominated by blackberry, but sensed tar and alcohol as well. Dark red color, almost opaque. Palate has a core of blue dark fruit and oak, tannins were stiff after 90 minutes. A lot going on here. Has several good years ahead

This wine needed a decent. But after 60-90 mins, the cab franc came out. Some barnyard funk on the nose, red fruit, espresso. Wine was tannic and tight, some red fruit and green bell pepper. Likely could have used 2-3 more years in bottle.

Dark red, Red fruit nose and taste, very little tannin. Starting to drink now, but can hold for at least five or more.

Getting much better. Oak is strong on the nose, black cherry, gravel. Needs about 30 minutes of air to really open up. Drink or hold.
