As everyday table wines go, this is one of my favorites (I have a soft spot for Loire cab francs).
Nose of white pepper and red fruits. Very fresh and fruity palate with some vegetable, green pepper aspects (in a good way). Despite its young age, the tannins are very smooth and well integrated. The structure is broad, the finish of medium length.
Very versatile with food. Try it with braised rabbit or with cheese at the end of the meal.

Okhuysen-The Netherlands-proeven tussen de stellingen: Black currants, nice concentration, a gentle dryness, juicy and with elegant bitters and tannins.

Dark ruby core with purple at the edges. Smelled mainly ripe ripe bramble berries of all colors, plus some iron and light earthiness and some jalapeño in the background; the taste was of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries. Medium bodied, with medium-plus acidity and not quite as much tannin, plenty of intensity, and a medium fruity finish.

All around, very nice (very young) Cab Franc at a great QPR. Very tight at first, tannic, as expected, but opened up great in the glass. Would buy again.

Tightly wound. Needs more time or decanting.
