Much better showing than the previous bottle...I wonder if bottle shock was at play or what but this was really nicely integrated bottle of wine. Deep red fruits and some nice earth notes.

Nose showing a boatload of pencil shavings -- very Loire-like. On the palate, quite flavorful plump fruit hints at new world but there are also correct old-world Cab Franc flavors, with a touch of vanilla. Lots of rough tannins at this point to go along with the forward fruit. Really very pure tasting, but needs several years to tame the tannins and come together.

Excellent Cab Franc, well balanced and with good structure. Some tannins at the end. Drink in the next few years.
