Vinous - Score: 93 (2014 December)

Dark ruby with a blackish core. Ethereal strawberry and raspberry aromas are lifted by rose petal, violet and wild spices. Juicy and intensely perfumed on the palate, with red berry flavors complicated by floral and saline elements and a note of tobacco. Extremely rich but still very closed, this cabernet franc boasts perfectly balanced acidity, fine-grained tannins and excellent spicy persistence.
