Wonderful. Great fruit, beautiful structure. May have opened this one too early. I'd say this wine had about 5 years or so to get better. Bought the last bottle from my store, so not sure where I'm going to find another one.

Not quite as good as last experience. But don't think this is going to improve with time

This heavyweight Cab Franc / Merlot blend drinks like a ride on Space Mountain. Exhilarating, intense and dark - black fruits and tobacco flavor transitions - long. Bordeaux-killing cult at its best. I want more...
