2015. Ripe and juicy berries, petrichor, sap, such a gorgeous and drinkable expression of Cabernet Franc. Clean but in no way simple. Perhaps the longest finish of any $25 wine I've ever consumed.

Good structure, tannins and weight. Popped this bottle for lunch post visit to Versailles. Needed an equalizer for upcoming train and metro ride.
