At first Cabernet franc nose predominates, in a slightly rounder style than the Loire. After an hour or so richer carmenere comes through. Peppery fruit and a pleasure to drink.

Fresh cherries, raspberries, green tobacco, mint, and red minerals framed with fine tannins and an acidic core. Early development stage with complex notes already starting to show. Finishes very long. Decant and drink through 2033+. Excellent for $30 USD.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), fig, cedar, bell pepper and thyme. It tastes like black currant (cassis), fig, mushroom, bell pepper, basil, thyme, meaty, burnt match and wet dog. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Haven’t tasted yet but want to point out the description in incorrect. This is 60% cab franc, 29% Carmenere, and 11% cab sav.
