This Cabernet Franc wine is dark in color, as well as in smell and taste. The aromas are in the red fruit area, but a bit on the dark side. Cherry, black cherry, raspberry and black pepper come forth persistently. On the palate, the darkness continues. Cherry and cassis are joined by herbs and spices and a firm tannic structure. This is a wine that was made to pair with lamb, or so it seems, anyway. By the way, it was vinified and aged completely in stainless steel.

Young and boisterous. Deliciously fruited, herbal and spicy at a young age. Would be interesting to see develop.

First of 2. Had 3 on release as it was so good. Lovely nose. Herbal. Layered. Chalky. Deep raspberry fruit. Juicy, elegant palate. Good concentration and purity of fruit. A skoche dirty out of the bottle. But I think in 30 minutes this will come together nicely.
