Nice amount of age and drinking really well. I think 2 more years and it will be in a serious sweet spot

A surprisingly candy-like cherry nose make away for a bright cherry palate complemented by volcanic asphalt and chalky minerality. A hint of plant oils and green bell pepper. Vegetal and earthy. Yum.

Insanely elegant for cab franc. Not the greatest vintage but retains floral notes, fruit, and the cab franc structure. Surprisingly quaffable!

Capa y densidad baja, color cereza, en nariz poca potencia, vegetal, ciruela y floral. En boca ágil, paso ligero y final con canela marcada sutil y agradable.
