This is an example of a very ripe Franc in a better than perfect year. It shows more raspberry and cherry than it does tobacco, those both are present; there's even some mocha that appears on the finish and that's a very welcome inclusion indeed. This is a very flavourful Franc and well priced for a !multiple buy. Drink now thru 2018, or even further. Price: $19.95 - Rating: ****+
