Blue fruits which is unusual for a cabernet franc... Some raspberry and pencil shavings there as well. A little bit of green pepper comes out on the finish. Round enough.

Défaut.
Bonjour l'écurie. Apparemment ce n'est pas un problème récurrent pour ce vin si on se fie aux notes de dégustation. Il a également sans doute besoin d'un temps d'ouverture plus long.

Fragrant ripe raspberry on the nose. Smooth and dry with a raspberry-espresso finish. #winesoffrance

Good value cab franc. A bit fruitier than other cab francs but will still satisfy

Delicious. Balanced and fragrant. Cherry, cut grass, and violin rosin. Gréât acidity. Drunk or hold for another five years.
