A highly ageworthy /decanter-worthy Cabernet Franc with structure, solidity that backs up the initial wall of fruit. Deeply colored in the glass, a good deep colour in the decanter and glass, and a truly enticing nose, redolent of smoke, minerals, graphite, cedar.The palate starts off with crunchy redcurrants and blackcurrants, with smoke and tannin coming in through the midpalate, alongside a very well judged, creamy-silky texture. This builds through the palate to the finish, where the precise grip sits as one with a taut, leafy note of green peppercorn.
