Still has lots of tannin and body.. Pencil shavings, raspberry preserve, med tannin, dusty earth and brambly fruit.

Still a big wine, even with the age. Great cab franc nose, pencil shavings, rustic spice, med-plus tannin and pretty cherry compote fruit. Always a sucker for these, even if they're not my atypical style.

wine of the tasting! even a french person liked it...ha! seriously though, gorgeously layered with those nice free hints associated with CF but more plush on the palate with no harsh astringency.

Pencil shavings, raspberry preserve, iron minerality, and an earthy/vegetal note on the back end. Awesome pencil notes on the palate with pretty berry fruit. Tannins are just right. Finally waited the correct time for a wine :)

Good varietal character: green peppers and cherries, plenty of oak. Paired nice with steak and sautéed kale.

Excellent vino. I had it in Atlanta for Father's Day. Yum yum Enjoying second bottle with my soul mate on a different day and dammit it's just as good.
