A Corbineau Cab Franc through-and-through: pulverized earth, dark fruit, satiny texture, and just a dollop of "civilized" brett. Starting to come out of its shell... Decant or hold for another year or two.

Evolution just starting on this dense cab franc. The wine feels very 'alive' at opening, with a slight touch of carbonic gas that tingles the tongue. Everything felt in place on this one; maybe a mini bemol regarding the lenght. Cellar 5-7 more years or carafe a few hours and enjoy around 16c.
