Robbing the cradle I know, yet have to taste when I grab a trinity.

Smells like roasted animal fat (as a Pescatarian, the same qualities are very similar) and old socks.

Tastes of olive oil (Animal fat) Herbs de Provence, leather, Tabac.
This finishes with medium tannin/acid mouthfeel.
This is a nice Cab Franc. South America shines!

Open a little more than an hour and is just really showing its breadth. Spice, acidity and round tannins. Fragrant and lovely nose. Red fruit, chocolate, and plum. RP gave this 97 so I thought I'd rob the cradle for a nice Christmas treat after the craziness of the day is over. Probably a good rating but needs some more time. — 8 years ago

Made in the central part of Saint-Joseph, on the steepest hill (above the village of Mauves) with granite soil (just like Hermitage) from 90+ year old vines. The name of the vineyard is called simply 'Saint Joseph'. This is the original part of the appellation. In other words 'Le Berceau' (the cradle). Powerful wine, dark fruit, smoked meats. On the bold side of the spectrum, but damn great. — 9 years ago

Yes, this was cradle robbed, but so delicious. Gorgeous nose, with almost everything but fruit. Slate, rock, earth, blood, spice everything you want and need. On the palate tart cherry and gorgeous acidity keeps you coming back. — 8 years ago

A friend took one for the team by pulling the cork way too soon on this one. Extremely tight and closed down, suggest you let these sleep for a few years. Rating this on potential. Great structure. Typical En Cerise terroir, this will be great a few years from now. @Dag Zapatero likes them young, but this was robbing the cradle. — 9 years ago

5 year anniversary at Quince, Flora's birth year (robbing the cradle!). Quite a bit of fruit still, tobacco nose. Little thin in mid palette but finishes strong and long. What a treat! — 10 years ago

I know I robbed the cradle on this guy and didn't give it anywhere near enough air, but still exceptional! Big nose of tar and vanilla, with a powerful finish. Great fruit, great texture, and a great compliment to Xmas Eve dinner! — 8 years ago

Terrific Barolo, definitely decant but not robbing the cradle too too bad. Tar and roses, baby. — 9 years ago

Funky, medium bodied and carrying the right amount of acidity to cradle the dark black fruits and black peppered cured meat tones. — 9 years ago
