Overview

Rebecca Gibb: Slightly volatile at first, with a touch of tomato, dried fruit, and tea leaf. The wine is super-elegant and has aged marvelously—the tannins show only a tiny hint of dryness. It is delicate yet has bags of concentration. A wonderfully attractive, feminine style, with lovely violet flavors coming from the Cabernet Franc. Drink now.
