Big fruit soaked in new wood on the nose. Juicy and narrow with decent structure. Somebody tried to bring big Napa to Chinon. Would be fun to blind in a tasting of big Cali Cabs. Not fun when you want a Loire Cab Franc.

Full-bodied with dark, expressive fruit. Would score higher if/when the wood presence backs off a bit.
