Quite inky — a year ago
Definitely has the depth and meatiness of a Bourgueil Cab Franc. Almost an inky ruby in the glass, raspberry and bright cherry/ripe plum. More fruit-driven and less green than I expected but very drinkable! — 3 years ago

Covid-19 wine time. So delicious we felt like we should have saved it for a more special occasion! — 6 years ago
What a nose - velvety, perfectly ripe cab franc smoky dark fruit with some bell pepper and tobacco accents. A bit of a let down on the palate: truly velvety texture and lovely fruit but lacking intensity and fades a touch too quickly on the finish. Still, a heck of a deal for 20 year old wine at $50. — 9 years ago

Threw my last one of these into a tasting against some other ‘14s and it more than held its own. Consistent with previous notes, never had a bad bottle — 2 months ago
