Red center, red rim with very clear signs of age. Grassy, new cut hay, plasticine, sweet, herby, enticing. Smooth, lighter red fruits - strawberries and raspberries, a little flinty, gracefully integrated greenness, modest tannins, some acidity still, a little nutty, good length (subtle but clear). Excellent mature Bourgueil (30 years old!), shows why waiting can be worth it. Might be too subtle for some. Drinking very well now.

Not much fruit left, obviously but a really enjoyable, old Cabernet Franc
