Note di degustazione
The 2012 Cabernet Franc is a bit compact today, but it nevertheless shows plenty of character. Sweet tobacco, cedar, mint, anise, iron and a host of savory, ferrous notes begin to emerge over time, although the 2012 remains hesitant to show all its cards. This intense, powerful Cabernet Franc is going to need a few years to fully come together, but it is promising.

The 2012 Cabernet Franc displays the ethereal characteristics of this grape. Intense, focused and complex, but never heavy, this dark ruby/purple-hued, medium-bodied 2012 reveals plenty of blueberry and raspberry notes intermixed with licorice and incense. With medium-bodied power as well as beautiful intensity, it should drink well for 10-15 years.
Deep medium ruby. Vinous aromas of darkest berries, tropical bitter chocolate, aromatic spices and flowers. Silky and smooth on the palate; less sweet than the young merlot 2012 but with a compellingly fine-grained texture to the blueberry, blackberry and mineral flavors. Very graceful, sexy wine, finishing with superb length and substantial ripe tannins that reach the front teeth.
