Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 18, 2015 - An elegant, pretty, and fairly restrained bottle from a normally exuberant producer. This really shows the Cab Franc with a feminine, green-pepper-dominated nose, along with notes of perfume and cinnamon. Medium-plus body, silky texture, well-disguised tannins that you don't notice until after swallowing. I think I'd've guessed Rougeard for this blind. A very classy claret, and if you'd told me it was a shoulder-vintage CB I'd totally believe it. But I'd've expected a lot more fireworks from the 1990. No perceptible flaws, just bottle variation I suppose.
