Grippy tannins, intense. classic Cabernet franc. But well rounded and complex. Really enjoying this as it opens up. Might up the rating.

I’m glad to see a cab franc outside Chinon. Very good.

Цвет черно-рубиновый. Полный. Аромат насыщенный, черная слива, перечные тона, узнаваемый Каберне Фран. Легкие сливочные тона, смородина, мороженое со смородиновым джемом, вкус полный, очень ягодный, отличная кислотность, но легкая размытость в теле. Сочно, с полным послевкусием. 16.5/20 (91/100)

A Cabernet Franc that showcases the varietal and its terroir. Green vegetables, rusty iron, prune followed by vanilla and a hint of incense. Rich and silky palate, with long spicy finish. High alcohol level is obvious. From the Bulgari family of the jewelry fame.

Paired with appetizers and pasta, this is really nice! Medium bodied with a smooth finish.

Good but maybe not $40 good. At $25 I'd be all over it.
