The Lovely Young Lady and I opened a bottle of the Detert Cab. Franc for no real reason other than to enjoy some wine while we relaxed last night. I'm still impressed with this wine from when I first tried it about half a year ago.
Inky purple color, and chocolate, cassis and olives on the nose. The palate had chalky, lip-smacking tannins and very strong fruit structure. Initially, there was some heat on the finish. Fortunately, a little aeration helped to smooth it out. A very delicious sipping wine -- about the only food that could stand up to it would be a juicy steak. Still needs a few years to mellow out. Three and a half stars out of five.
