100% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruit, generous spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with pepper and cinnamon wrapped in floral notes. Fine developed tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and toasty herb spices. Should age well.

Thick, unctuous, beef bloody, high herbs and garrigue. Long Finnish and nice structure.

Young but drinking very well. Dark fruit aromas with more on the palate along with mocha, and earthy flavors. Delicious!

Elegant opening with dark berries, plums, chocolate, coffee and wood. Dry on the tongue and then with a slight upturn of acidity in the finish.
