My last bottle of this. Too bad. Nose of eucalyptus, mint and tobacco, with some syrupy red fruits. Most of that on the palate too, as well as a rich bittersweet chocolate note. Yum.

Some lightening around the rims. A powerful and complex nose of red fruits, herbs and tobacco, which carries through to the palatte and on to the medium-length finish. Very much a food wine, as --like most cab francs-- it has a certain acidic sharpness that stands up well to big-flavored dishes but can be off-putting on its own. But an outstanding food wine. Glad I've got one more left.
