James Lawther: 62 percent Cabernet Franc. Less intensity than the 2008 or ’09, but elegant in style. Ruby color—lighter at the rim. Gently aromatic, with floral, spice, and red-fruit notes. Palate supple and round. Light- to medium-bodied. Fine and balanced, even if there is not the depth of a top year. Drink to 2020. 16
