Tasting notes

Red colour. Intence nose of pine-needle, grass, cedar tobacco, some leather. Medium bodied in the mouth. Still with good concentration. Complex and maturing aromas in the fruit which also gives a little sweetness to the wine. Medium acids and round and mature tannins. Fine balance and good length. Good for the price.

Brick-red colour. Not deep. Harbacious nose with hints of grass and cedar. Medium bodied in the mouth with mature fine grassy fruit and some hints of red berries. Good acids and little tannins in the back. Good length. Fine food-wine.

Medium deep brick-red colour. The herbacious nose shows grass, bell-peppers, cedar. Some complexity. Medium bodied in the mouth. Still good fruit left, now mature. Wine on the herbacious side of cabernet franc. Good acids and length. Little tannins. Fine food-wine.

Brick-red colour. Not deep and not that browning. Grassy typical cabernet franc-nose with hints of lead-pencil, tobacco, lightly floral notes. Medium bodied in the mouth with decent concentration. Mature fruit; grassy with lead-pencil and tobacco; a little on the rustic side. Lacking a little elegance. Good acid and little tannins in the back. A litte short on length. This seems to be a little over the top now. Drink up. Still a decent glass.
