Rustic style, mint and vegetal, tannic; softened after 8 hours, still not a lot of fun

Medium bodied with good concentration. Ripe red fruits with graphite, balanced. Likes to breathe.

Very elegant, well rounded cab franc. Great acid and bell. But so balanced. A delight when so many are lop sided. Lingering charcoal and tobacco in the very long but airy finish.
