If you close your eyes and sniff, it has the huge aromatic volume of a cru classe right bank cab franc. But on the palate it’s way more linear and silky smooth and finishes long.

Everything in its right place. Needs plenty of time to go from good to great

Elegant nose with black currant leaf, green pepper, plus a rocky, graphite note. Very classic. Nicely structured with juicy acidity and very finely grained tannins. Great balance and purity here, fresh black currants in all forms.
A truly fine wine.

Juicy cherries and pencil lead. Delicious now, but this could also age.
