This showed best after open about an hour. Still showing vibrant dark fruit along with tobacco, green notes, and charcoal/smoke. An enjoyable blast from the past.

I don't drink a lot of Cabernet Franc, but when I do...... This is holding up very nicely and easily would be drinkable for another 5 years. Super potent nose, the middle is very satisfactory, and a very decent finish. I still see this as more of a blending grape as opposed to the basis of an entire bottle but very pleased with this indeed.

Aged nicely - was very rough when first opened - thought it was past - after 45 minutes in the decanter it was a whole different wine - smooth tobacco and cherry.

Well-kept; not being a big fan of of Cab Franc, primarily due to the bouquet, I was quite pleased after it was allowed to breath for 45 minutes or so. Extremely smooth, with a longer finish than expected. Decanting recommended despite the lack of sediment.
