A little heady cherry nose, not much BF tang, very round and persistent, a bit too soft already for my palate. But a very good wine with true ageability.

Surprisingly open already this wine shows its herbal and fruit characteristics in balance, on the nose and one the palate. Juicy yet serious this wine is already open and giving pleasure, and is less austere than most Loire CF. A welcome surprise, highly recommended!

Needs a lot of air, after many swirls this shows floral and earthy notes, it seems restrained still. On the palate there is dark fruit, bramble berry, bay leaf and very refined tannins. The finish is surprisingly long, considering the otherwise only solid to very good qualities of this wine. At a price point of 90ish€ this is underwhelming, the regular mature vine bottling, while different in style, shows nearly as good as this parcel selection.
