Brooding and muscular, with blackberry, wet stone and forest floor dominating the palate. Savory herbs and pencil shavings add complexity to this old-vine expression that epitomizes traditional Loire cabernet franc. The structure is firm and uncompromising. This needs cellaring through 2020 at minimum.
