Brooding and austere, with wild cherry, graphite and dried herbs building slowly on the palate. The century-old vines deliver serious depth, while firm tannins and chalky minerality create a taut, unforgiving frame. This captures the essence of old-vine Cabernet Franc on limestone. Powerful yet restrained. Needs cellaring to soften its edges.
