Insane Cabernet Franc! All done in amphorae! Notes later, but wow!!!

Deepest and darkest blackberry flavor I've pretty much ever experienced, throw cherries past your glass as well, light cocoa flavors... Every way you look at this bottle, it's too young. Decanted for 3.5 hours and it was beautiful, looking forward to checking in on this in a year and then 5+ going forward. Wow.

Funk! Super interesting. Did not love on it's own but with the preserved truffle it really made sense.
