Purple red in color. Fruity nose. Ripe cherries. Some bell pepper and bay leaf. Mouth ia fresh with present tannins. Blackberries. Good length. 40 years old vines. A wine approacheable in its youth but will also taste great in another 5 years

On the nose a fragrant melange of roses, red fruit, peaches, and Szechuan peppers. Dry penetrating core of fruit, firm sweet tannins, a back note of espresso, long acid finish. 50 + 18 + 17 + 8 = 93.

Fresh, aeromatic, balanced, medium body, rustic with a sense of place, delicious with a strong finish. A lot of wine at 12% alcohol, goes well with food and I wonder if it continues to open over time. Skip this one if you prefer "powerful" wines.
Cabernet Franc from the homeland, amazing that this grape when bred with Sauvignon Blanc yields Cabernet Sauvignon. One of life's mysteries!

Classic chinon, a touch of coffee and less green than I typically think of cab franc. Good today, but probably improves over the next couple years.
