2008 de Francs les Cerisiers

Ripe, sweet nose. Very thick firm tannins. Dense, spicy with notably firm, grippy tannins but good fruit depth too. Needs lots of time. (JH)

Deep, sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with licorice, roasted herbs, and spice box are found in this sleeper of the vintage. Medium to full-bodied with surprising concentration, this is another beautifully made wine from an obscure appellation that delivers very good value.
