(80% cabernet franc from 80-year-old vines with 10% each malbec and petit verdot): Good ruby-red. Perfumed, exotic aromas of black cherry, violet, spices, chocolate and sexy oak, with a superripe hint of beefsteak tomato. At once lush and sappy on the palate, with terrific cut to the fine-grained flavors of blackberry, minerals and violet. Finishes scented and long, with glossy tannins. Very sexy wine for drinking now or holding.
