This is really lovely. Classic VCC violets on the nose. Light plum, really aromatic. Beautifully smith and balanced. Does the big wine proud!

Extremely aromatic with tons of flesh and grip. The Cabernet Franc was kind of taking over, but I'm ok with that. Violets, toast, and a great finish.

Violet flowers and dark chocolate caramel on the nose. Dry dark chocolatity/dark fruit tannins, black tea, chalky medicine, medium vanilla barrel toast and still a bit astringent. Needs another 8-10 years in the bottle. My rating jumps another 3-5 points in another 8-10 years. #velvety #potential
