Bit neutral on this wine. It’s “good” but the finish is really strong on tannins. I opened it up, PnP thru an aerator , and sipped. Still tight, dark fruits, tart, but not puckering up entirely. Finish was long and wet, but hard on the tannins. I would give it a few more years before opening another bottle. Second day with the bottle vacuumed, finish started to mellow a little bit.

One of the best Cab Franc's I have tasted in years. Give it plenty of air and this wine shines. Such a wonderful lip smacking balance of fruit and spice. Long finish.

Dark blue and black fruits, a bit spicy / peppery on the entry, still grippy tannins but smooth, some oaky notes on the exit. Fairly long finish with some good lip smacking moisture. There's some vegetation, maybe eucalyptus or mint hiding underneath. Drinking nicely now, will continue to evolve according to Smith and I concur.
