The 2012 Cabernet Franc is a stunning wine from Anne-Claude Leflaive, offering wonderful fresh, clean aromas of black and red fruits, which are woven together with white pepper, black tea, dried tobacco leaf, wet stones and dried violets. The medium to full body is well balanced back by a racy core of acidity, which carries over onto the vibrant finish. Today the wine is extremely youthful and will require a minimum of a few years of bottle age before it reaches its full stride. That being said this is a wonderful, pure expression of Cabernet Franc with a long bright future. (Best 2020-2030) - January, 2015 (JD)
