Score 91/100 · Drink 2015-2030, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2011
The 2009 Cabernet Franc is a big, rich powerful wine loaded with dark red fruit, smoke, espresso, grilled herbs and licorice. Today it comes across as big, imposing and in need of a few years in the cellar for the massive tannins to soften. This turns more elegant and understated with time in the glass.
