Intensely liquorous, this is a wine whose richness comes from concentrated botrytis over honey and lemon acidity. It is very ripe, rather than hugely sweet, with a final burst of freshness, giving a positive lift. Delicious, it needs aging for 5–10 years.

Soft, ripe, smoky wine, with cinnamon spice that overlay the intense berry fruits. With its freshness, its core of dry tannin and flavorsome acidity, this is ready to drink now.

With its tobacco and fresh raspberry aromas, this is a light, perfumed, smoky wine of fragrant Cabernet Franc with a touch of blueberry tannins and an intense burst of finishing acidity.
