Deserves a proper decant. Heavily oaked, with loads of vanilla present. Currants and blackberries show after some air time. A really well done wine!

Good, but a bit too subtle for my tastes.

Perfect are on this with notes of black currant and a faint spice that paired beautifully with our Christmas dinner. Don't think green for this cab franc blend
