2009 Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Arboises BrézéCabernet Franc more |
2/7/2015 - bill00 wrote: 91 pointsReally juicy and primary with dark, ripe fruit. Big and full-bodied with nice balancing acidity. This is much too young to drink and needs to shed the baby fat to both enjoy and fairly judge though I think it has lots of potential. I'd wait a while. 91+ |

1996 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur-Champigny Le BourgCabernet Franc more |
1/30/2021 - bill00 wrote: 92 pointsTobacco, olive, soil and green pepper. Fully mature. Mellow and easy-going. I thought a bottle of this a couple of years ago was better so perhaps this is on the decline but I'm guessing it'll be a slow descent. |

2010 Catherine et Pierre Breton Bourgueil Les PerrièresCabernet Franc more |
10/4/2014 - bill00 wrote: 89 pointsVery ripe, primary fruit. Comes off almost modern in style and is somewhat atypical to me vs. other bottlings of Breton. Nice but perhaps better with time and further bottle development to get past the really primary fruit. 89+ |
