Wow best Grange aux Belles I’ve tasted, ever. Superbly balanced. Medium Dark violet purple. Spicy, black raspberry meets black driveway asphalt in a really good way. Finish falls off but I enjoyed this bottle a lot.

Super tasty 11 years in. Pencil lead, black tar macerated blackberries. But savory aromas and flavors far outweighing fruity flavors but in no manner a bad way. Tannins integrated but present. Alcohol is saying hello. Very happy with choosing to pull the cork tonight.

Not much to say except that it's drinking well is very pleasurable. Had the other bottle nearly two years ago and this does not seem faded. Fully ripe fruit for Anjou.

Quite a lot of sediment
Heavier than normal Loire cab f, high alcohol, unsubtle but still enjoyable food wine
