"...It offers an absolutely sensational perfume of red and black fruits, intermixed with spring flowers, freshly sharpened pencils, savory flowers, and graphite. This carries to a medium to fullbodied, pure, layered, graceful, seamless Cabernet Franc that has fine, polished tannins and a monster of a finish. If this doesn't impress you, I don't know what will. There are a scant 370 cases produced, and I suspect 4-5 years of bottle age are warranted, and it will unquestionably see its 30th birthday in fine form. Drink 2030-2053."
