Rich, deep dark ruby garnet with an almost black core and purple reflections. Brilliant bouquet right from the first nose. Ripe heart cherries, plums, fine herbal notes, delicate cinnamon notes, delicate wood notes of cedar, chocolaty touch, malty-sweet notes, some coconut and a hint of caramel, then a wonderful amount of herbs. Wonderfully full-bodied on the palate, lots of finesse and charm with a velvety texture, ripe fruit enlivened with lots of herbal spice. Cassis, dark berries, firm ripe tannins, wonderful salty mineral freshness, elegantly opulent, balanced structure with a long, spicy-dark berry finish. A typical and large Cabernet Franc with a long life and early charm at the same time!
