"Unmistakably exotic Cabernet Franc notes of blueberries, violets and cigar box lead the initial aromatic burst. The wine is robust and precisely focused on the palate adding additional flavors of black currant, cassis and dark chocolate with subtle tertiary notes of slate and iron. Richly textured - both silky and velvety - it finishes with fascinating complexity to ponder and enjoy. Drinking beautifully already, especially with advance decanting. Still developing more charm for 4-6 years. Savor it for many years to come; easily 1-2 decades more." - Winemaker's Notes
