It gets better with a decant and if you can, wait till the second day. Very pretty and clean. This is what Franc should be!! Love this. SS

Super bright and earthy CF that is so charming to drink. Great weight and density to the fruit. Juicy but not heavy handed. Pure and transparent earthy aromas/flavors. Love the fine and soft tannin profile. Lovely acid. Raspberry and black berry, wet tobacco leaves, violets, button mushrooms, potting soil.

Effusive aroma, a smidge of funk, tasty - crunchy cranberries & white mushroom.
