En nariz es muy complejo e intenso. Destaca el mineral y tonos de frutos negros, con especias (quizá nuez moscada) y algo de huevo duro. En boca se muestra muy tánico, siendo muy astringente: pide comer. Bueno para acompañar a platos con sabores fuertes. Ligero, con rápido paso en boca pero intenso recuerdo astringente.

We've had this one a few times; really nice cab franc, and economical, too. We did a pop and pour, although a bit of air and patience benefits it greatly. Nose is typical cab franc: green pepper and green olive, slight funk, a tiny bit of caramel. On the palate, the fruit emerges, along with more barrel-induced notes (tobacco, chocolate, etc.). Proves once again that cheap wine doesn't have to be crap wine.

Juicy blue fruit in the forefront, then fierce tannins kick in - and stay around for way longer than expected. Quite surprising for a 2011. Good in its style, but the tannins are waay too rough still.
