Generous & elegant fruit with underlying tobacco & pencil lead. Velvet tannin & resolved structure. Clean vegetal notes, not in a detracting manner.

If a wine can be honest (& a farmers wine to boot), this is it. Even threw off a bit of sediment for such a youngin'. Much much better the 2nd day. Doesnt have the acidic snap that some of my fave Bourgueils do, but Im rootin for it

This is fantastic Cab Franc from a ripe vintage. More sweet green tobacco then pyrazine. I thought it was stunning.

Tannic, not too green, demands more ageing than I deigned to give it.
