A nice wine but still young for my taste. A bit wound up with moderately interesting elements if searching for them. Powerful yet balanced. Many good years ahead.

Opened at Thanksgiving dinner as the second (and far better) Cab Franc. Put under VacuVin, and stuck in the fridge, then finished nine or so days later. And it was still really nice. Heavier than a Loire CF, but not overdone. These bottles, which will be made separately no more, are more like a Bordeaux version of CF, with tannins that make you appreciate that it's a parent of Cab Sauv. This one has crunchy red berries, strong but not harsh tannins, a kiss of oak, and a long finish that suggests maybe some licorice. I imagine it could even improve if I gave it time.
