Quite brutish and muscular, a Cabernet Franc that is bigger than I imagined to be honest.
Some choc mint appeal, dried herbs, lots of black currants and dark plummy fruit. It's drying and the hefty oak plays its part here too. Over a couple of days it didn't budge too much but wines like this aren't built for now given the oak and acid tension. It's a wine I'd love to revisit in six to eight years.
