In a blind setting of 12 cabernet francs, I rated this the best wine overall. I did not know at all it was this wine. I though this one would finish in the middle of the 12 wines. Not the most extravagant, in your face, but an amazing balance and elegance that charmed me. It finished 3rd overall in the group. This is really a wine that you should age.

Similarnote to Thijs; elegant green notes, dark cherry, some cranberry, good acidity, didn't get much barnyard. Lovely elegant wine, drinking at its apogee now.

Dinner at Coulisse (Amsterdam, NL): [Restaurant purchase] This showed beautifully tonight. Medium+ intensity on the nose with typical CF aroma’s but in an complex and elegant way: green bell bell pepper, hint of barnyard, earthiness, red fruit, cranberry. Medium+ acidity, long finish. 93-94

Yet another Terroir Tuesday at Table, Donkey and Stick ft. Clos Rougeard (Chicago, IL): Great density; this feels like it has filled out a bit since I had it on release a few years ago. Moderate earthiness, not too much pyrazine, and just a little rustic barnyard here. Quite pleasant now, but overshadowed by the far more convincing 2017.
