Looks like I was petty drunk here. Still the best CF ever.

A great wine. Wonderfully integrated oak, great bell pepper nose, smooth and light. Corkage ftw.

Black peppercorn, tobacco, highly aromatic, delicate but affirmative tannins. A bench mark.

A great example of Loire Cabernet France. Well balanced with excellent acidity throughout a three hour dinner at Komi in DC. Paired well with Mediterranean flavors (tzatziki, dill, yogurt, fennel). Opened up in 15 minutes. Cherry notes developed later.
