Lots of green pepper in this one. Big, bold and lots of tannin. Needs some time to open up so give it an hour before drinking

Deep, complex earthy bouquet. Smooth on the tongue with a slightly tangy finish. Really like this wine

No surprise to find green aromas in a franc, especially in 2011, but this has enough texture and depth to balance it out.
