Took a while to open up, but really smooth to drink. Not overly complex.

Stunning wine still young. Great blend 63% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot. Showing better than the 2009 right now

Fine but I don't like the QPR. Maybe the cab franc needs more time than I was willing to give. Cest la vie.

Aroma: at room temp, a bright cassis explosion blows off instantly. Too bad because all that's left is raisin...ugh. Black raspberry pokes its head out periodically. Touch of dusty green bean. Taste: Ripe ripe ripe black fruit. Raisin. Green bitterness on the finish growing stronger. The Cab franc is waking up...lets give this some time and I'll chill the next pour.
