Smooth, creamy texture, but the cork's sudden collapse left a bitter note in the finish.

Dense, bold fruit spice alcoholic with a point of brutishness, but ultimately very enjoyable, returning to the table in a comforting manner.

Voss Experts4.5

This Cabernet Franc presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated character. The nose is a symphony of blackcurrant, bell pepper, and a hint of graphite, showcasing varietal purity and complexity. On the palate, it unfolds with a medium-plus body, revealing layers of ripe plum and dark cherry, underscored by finely grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that lends freshness. The finish is long and savory, with a whisper of cedar and a mineral edge, positioning this wine as a refined expression of its terroir, suitable for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.
