It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Strong spicy nose with light cedar, tobacco, chocolates and licorice.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, coffee, light cedar, cola, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and dried meat.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc from Lazio, Italy. An interesting wine that feels more like a Right Bank Bordeaux.
This 11 year old is tasty right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Rich, yet elegant.
Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years.
A good quality wine. Good by itself or with food.
100% Cabernet Franc grapes were aged in oak barrels for 20 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$100.
