A compelling cab franc. Powerful and dark, with a sophisticated air to it. Rich as Bezos. Will improve when the tannins dial back with a year or two.

Dark purple turning to black. The nose on blackberries, bell pepper and spices. In the mouth the wine has grippy dusty and drying tannins. The attack is somewhat on the sweet side with lots of fruit but transitions to leather and crushed gravel and some chocolate. Needs 5 years to get absorb the wood and mellow the tannins. A very nice US cab franc.
