93 points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 2017:
"The power of the 2010 vintage is very apparent in this superripe wine. Dominated by rich, perfumed Cabernet Franc, it's concentrated, dark and dense. Its juicy black fruit is still in the background, moving slowly forward as it matures."
45 y.o. Cabernet Franc 90%, Merlot 10%.
Decant & serve ~17ºC with lamb, spicy dishes or soft cheeses.
