No real notes, a shared mid-week bottle while I was out picking up new Burgundy's.
Nice dark fruits, fine tannins, amazingly approachable. Easy drinker if you're biased to lighter style Cabernet Franc.

The nose on this, holy, I get petroleum, vanilla, honey, raspberry. On first sip, super smooth, I get honey, strawberry, blueberry, vanilla, oak. Not getting to many spices which I would expect, but it's super smooth, no tannins in sight. Which is impressive for the age. Definitely surprised by this one.
