Marcus Gran Reserva Cabernet Franc 2001, a good old boy from North Patagonia



Marcus Gran Reserva, Cabernet Franc 2001, By Bodega Humberto Canale, USD 30
A mature Cabernet Franc from Rio Negro Valley (Rio Negro Province), North Patagonia. The oldest winery alive in Patagonia. Nice oxidation with a kind of mixed plum ,quince and cherries compoted and soft undertones of chocolate. Equilibrated palate all through. Surely it was better younger with fresh fruits and
stronger tannins. Now a good red and a good value for those who enjoy aged reds. An 89 points Cabernet Franc in good shape at ten years old.
