A tale of two Francs. More grip and terroir expression here. Darker berries, longer finish. Comparable quality to the Ravines, just with different character.

Not too shabby, but came off a little perfume-y to my palate along with a slightly high acidity.

2012: Beautiful on the eyes. Stanky goodness, strong terroir on the nose and mouth. Good finish.

Delicious!

2010. Began austere, herb garden nose. Graphite emerged, but still light on its feet. Bright.
