A private dinner (Restaurant De Zwethheul **, Schipluiden, Netherlands): Verdelho from the Loire! Attractive, easy, light, sweet, spicy, ripe grapes, fresh, decent length.

Love the funky nose. It’s a well balanced wine if a bit simple resulting from the silky smooth tannins. Could use a bit more structure. Good food wine. Will buy again for $15.

Deep red. Nose of red berries, chalk, talcum powder and occasionally a Brett note that mostly disappeared with sufficient air. Flavors of red berries, chalk, grape, red currants and a green herbal note that makes itself known on the short finish. Good acidity and a light+ body, very easy drinking. At this stage needs a good decant. Smoother/better on day two.

I have always thought that this was an undervalued, underappreciated bottling. This is great juice. Fruit driven nose with a lot of cherry, red plum, almost candied fruits. Cassis and black cherry on palate, quite darker and richer than remembered, but with great acid, and light tannins making this easy to drink. Slight chocolate from somewhere sneaks in. Great value. I think "br" sums it up best.

What a curious wine. For a Cab Franc it tastes remarkably like Pinot Noir. Silky texture, some sweet spice, a hint of earth -- all strangely Pinot-like. I found this quite pleasing at first but in time I realized that if it does in fact taste like Pinot, it's a flabby Pinot lacking depth and acidity. Given the comments of others I now wonder if this was an off bottle. Since it was my first Anjou it's hard to say.

I agree with valecnik's note below, I would have mistaken this for a Pinot Noir. There was some simple red fruit and some dark earth and it was fairly light bodied yet it was flabby and lacking interest with an astringent finish. It drank much like a very basic Bourgogne from a poor year. Tasted immediately upon opening, with an hour's decant, and the following day. I'll stick to Chinon from now on I think.

Black coffee, dark acid, tacky tannins. Date, a bit of baking spices, fine juicy tannins. Soft and round for a Cab Franc. A bit of black pepper, earth. Good. Not falling off any time soon.

Tastes slightly green in the beginning but opens up nicely with more time. This is nice food wine, nothing fancy.
Serve cool and decanting an hour wouldn't hurt. Served with a couple of cheeses. Nice!

This wine has a specific 'green' quality, might be typical for Cab Franc (I am just guessing). There is plenty of red fruit and a nice mouthfeel. It is very distinctive and probably not really a crowd pleaser but to me, a really good food wine. Drank the second half of the bottle two days after opening and it was still going strong.

On the first day this was a bit too warm - very typical (as noted several times) slightly "green" cabernet nose, but otherwise quite uninteresting and broad. On the second day I tried it cooler- much better, fresher, the herbal notes were less strong, pretty red fruits on nose an palate, fresh acidity and long finish. A wine with character and a lot of life in it. Drink or hold.

Light body but fragrant nose full of fruit. A bit of black-peppery spice on the palate, fruity and smooth otherwise. Simple flavors but with decent length. It's a light-bodied red good for light dishes and patio drinking. Very good value at $12/bottle if available.

Wow, seems like a totally different wine than last time. A pretty nose of red fruit and tobacco. Good acidity, some tannins, and a vegetal and woody/stemmy palate. The mouth feel is rustic but cleaned up. Better than an '07 Raffaulf a few nights ago.

Patrick Will with Ex Cellars (Crow's Nest): Great package! Nice and floral with berries on the nose. Not as yeasty as anticipate (4 years on lees). Medium bodied palate with moderate acidity. Has a nice richness on midpalate, but not too much. Nice berries, minerals, and finishes with a touch of tannin?!?! Finishes like some of the dry rose's from Loire. Interesting.

Clear and bright ruby colored. Sour cherries and red plums on the nose, dried rose petals and the smell of two slate rock being smashed together. On the palate, this cab franc is smooth and soft, with fine-grain tannins and tangy acid, all very well-integrated. On the fruit side, this wine shows wild raspberry and dried cherry, but there's this great herbal component, like dried oregano and bay leaf. Great underlying sense of minerality throughout. If you've ever tasted mineral water straight out of a rock, you get a sense of what I'm talking about. Medium-length finish with notes of black tea. The fruit is quite restrained, and the other aspects are more pronounced, but if that's what you're looking for, this hits the spot. I love Baumard's whites and dessert wines, and I'm interested in trying other vintages of this Anjou rouge.
