Nose
The power of the vintage shows through, with intense aromatic notes of dark cherry, blueberry and plum. The true Cabernet Franc aromatics of cigar box, black pepper, forest floor and pencil lead minerality are under the fruit.
Palate
The tannins are present but soft and in play well with the acidity, with lush red fruit lingering on the long finish.
