Wow. This is incredible. Been in the cellar about 6+ years and perfectly timed crack. It looks medium bodied but it is rich and full! Completely mellowed out the tannins, rich dried fruit, caramelized berries, some pepper but less than I'd expect from a cab franc. The appassimento sweetness is there and the oak balances it all. Lipinski kicks ass on this one.

Rich stewed plum, black pepper and alcohol heat nose. Smooth intense tannin and great finish - perhaps too much alcohol.
