I gave this wine a rare wild-card "open score" since I get the feeling it has a lot more to offer with age. It improved so much over the last 24 hours...it's very impressive.  A very complete Cab Franc with great acidity and fantastic tannic structure.  Aromas of red pepper, dark chocolate, red cherry, sweet red currant, with a hint of cedar and fresh herbs. The palate offers great texture, good energy with flavours of red pepper jelly,  blue plum, ripe raspberry and strawberry. 

 

A drastically different flavour profile than the Grimsby Hillside from Fogolar. This wine could easily age 10 to 12 more years. (Carl Boucher, 12/07/26).
