Lightly pronounced raspberry with a bit of earthy/leather aromas. Paired well with a simple roast chicken. Avoid anything sweet or fruit will be lost.

Can't tell the nose... very earthy, lots of tannins, not so ripe fruits, strawberry? Bell pepper dominates the flavour profile. 100% Cab Franc from Bourgueil in Loire Valley!

Locely and rich with moderate high acidity. Missing the deeper greenery notes yet possessive of soft tannins and medium to full body. Pepper and currents with hints of strawberry underneath. Nice.
