  April 13, 2024 - this cork was saturated and broke upon extraction. The wine didn't seem any the worse for it. Fairly accessible with a typical franc flavor profile, maybe a bit less green than most. Tannins a bit drying on the finish. After about 4 hours open, it was more friendly and in better balance.

  March 17, 2024 - A reasonably good performance, good color still has a young nose, no complexity, has good balance between acidity and fruits. Has a classic Loire Cab Franc nose, body and structure. Will last 10 more years minimum. A good value for the price than quite a few California Cab Francs.

  February 5, 2024 - On this bottle, the cork was only saturated 2/3 the way up...drinking fine, fairly friendly for a loire cab franc with balanced structure, fruit and no green flavors

  October 23, 2023 - This needs a lot of air. Was closed off for 2-3 hours and then began to show some of the fruit as well as a bit of oak and maybe a hint of vanilla.
  
  Day 2 this wine completely transformed. Wonderful pepper, tobacco, and leather. Tannins are surprisingly integrated for age.
  
  As others have said, beware of cork seepage. Would love to see this with 8-12 years on it but not sure it will make it.
