Beautiful ruby dress with depth and brilliance. On the nose and in the mouth, cabernet franc is immediately recognized: typical notes of fruits (red and black, strawberry to black cherry), floral herbaceous plants (ronces, rose, violet), and mineral (slate, graphite)... endowed with a beautiful concentration and acidity still lively, it is a cuvée today perfectly in the balance between youth and maturity with some evolved notes (truffle among others) that brings a beautiful taste relief. A bottle with enough body to attack the big meat. Nice q/p ratio.
Belle robe rubis avec de la profondeur et éclat. Au nez et en bouche, le cabernet franc se fait tout de suite reconnaître: notes typiques de fruits (rouges et noirs, de la fraise à la cerise noire), végétales herbacées florales (ronces, rose, violette), et minérales (ardoise, graphite)… doté d’une belle concentration et d’une acidité encore vive, c’est une cuvée aujourd’hui parfaitement à l’équilibre entre jeunesse et maturité avec quelques notes évoluées (truffe entre autre) qui apporte un beau relief gustatif. Une bouteille avec suffisamment de corps pour attaquer la grosse viande. Beau rapport q/p.

On opening this wine delivers a joyous arch. From vibrant and racy raspberries....to a hint of bubblegum....and then settles with just a touch of earthy notes. Tremendous QPR at $13.

Nov 8th, 2019Earthy raspberry, leafy aromas. Some red fruits but stewed almost rather than fresh.

Raspberry, wet wood and vanilla nose. Medium bodied, good acid and juicy with more raspberry on the palate. Not a hint of green pepper

Deep ruby. Herbal notes, oak cramberry flavors. Balanced, soft tannins.
