  A favourite Cab Franc of mine over the years - I still have the '76 in my cellar!
  2 bottles 90min aerated decant together. Dry spice, some green bell pepper and a core of ripe red hedge fruits and black cherry. The fruit became more prominent as time passed reaching perfect balance after 3 hours (excellent late night sipping!). Good length.
  Will hold my remaining bottles till '26. Window 2026-2031?+. 91+pts

  Medium ruby color. It smells fresh and not tired. red fruit with vegetal influence, earthy. medium body and still some tannin left, . The finish has little sour, mushroom taste, not my favorite finish but can go well with food.

  Starting to mature beautifully. Very drinkable, drying out slightly but with good fruit and balance.

  Slow ox for one hour. Notes of cranberry, cherry, bell pepper and black pepper. Light, transparent with limited tannin. This is a solid early drinker but the fruit feels a little too reticent. Hard to tell whether this is going to get better with time or dry out. Have a few more bottle so will try another a little while.
