Popped and poured; no formal notes. Tsapournakis is, apparently, Cabernet Franc (or some clone of it) that has been grown in Velvento for a long time. Not surprisingly, this had Right Bank Bordeaux sensibilities. There was a mix of red and dark fruits, purple flowers, organic earth, tobacco and some baking spices. There was perhaps just a touch of Brett too. The structure was firm, in the medium+ category and the finish was long. This was lovely with baked lamb in paper.

Like they say, sometimes you need to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince and other times you drink 2 bottles of this sassy Cab and just go home with whoever is left at the bar afterwards

Really great mineral red wine. A bit light on body, but well structured and easy to drink.
