The Cab Franc dominates up front, but after half hour decant the stone fruit of cherry and plum start to come to the front. Finishes with some sweetness and earth.

Wow, couldn't get past the wood on this one. For the first few hours in the decanter, every taste of the wine seemed like I was just sucking on a cedar shingle. It took 4 hours in the decanter before I was able to pour a glass. Gonna wait at least 2 years before opening my other one. Bought AW on a recommendation, so I hope the others are better.

Dark and chewy. Black cherries and plums. Bit thin on the finish.

The Cab Franc is the dominate flavor. There are blackberries and currants and the can franc pickle.

I wasn't doing a focused tasting at the time, but my recollection was that this was pleasant but not particularly of interest to me.
