This has aged marvelously. Aerate to decanter. Color dark ruby, no sign of bricking. Bouquet of strawberries, focused red cherries, some leafy greens, tea leaves, and sticks. More open on the nose and palate than a few years ago, but still linear with lots of focused cherries brightened by underlying minerals and a healthy dose of earth and veggie. Will likely drink the last bottle within a year.

Nice nose of dusty roses, leafiness, and sour cherry and raspberry. Fresh flavors of bright red fruits.

Wow, what a great Cab Franc. Earthy and dry with a great finish. Cherry, tobacco and some cocoa on the palate and a tart berry nose.
