Nice typical nose, the round juicy texture compliments the fruit well. Good drying tannin.

As has been said I'm not a big cabernet fan (sauvignon that is - franc is a completely different matter) but I kind of like this one. It still has that sort of austere feel to it but in a tolerable way.

A lovely fruity, oaky Bordeaux blend, though the alcohol's a little too high.
