A beautiful expression of Cabernet Franc. The nose presents an intriguing interplay between ripe black fruits and tart red berries, harmoniously complemented by wet forest floor notes (moss and decaying leaves), damp wood, and subtle vanilla undertones. While clearly young, the wine shows promising character.
The tannins, though somewhat granular, sandy, green, and drying, are well-balanced by vibrant acidity and a pleasant fruit sweetness that keeps everything in check. The overall structure suggests good aging potential.
An excellent value offering that drinks well now but promises interesting development over the next few years.
