  Great showing, showing a core of sappy red fruited flavours accented by those classic green/forestal notes I always expect in Loire CF. It still feels very youthful and the flavour profile hasn't changed much in the 11 years since my first bottle/note on this wine. The texture is something special with that sense of silkenness and airy feel I find in so many of these Franc de Pied wines. Glad I have one more.

  Pop and pour at Salil's. Lovely red fruit. Silky in the mouth. Mild green streak on the finish that I don't love, but it goes well with Salil's delicious chicken kebabs and roasted cauliflower.

  Has a fruit forward nose of cassis? Can’t quite describe the aromas as they are unique maybe elderberry too hint of black olive, all I know is I really enjoyed them, medium density mouthfeel , some cranberry and red fruits, red bell pepper with some spicy notes, not tannic moderate acidity medium to long finish was an excellent wine paired very well with London broil , an excellent wine I wish I could find more.

  The color is normal now, haha. Beautiful leafy nose, beautiful leafy and red-berried palate. Finishes with some spice and a little tannin. Not primary, but not showing much age.

  Informal notes from dinner. Very expressive nose of tobacco and red fruits. Lively acidity and mid weight flavors, this showed well but I was surprised how mature this bottle seemed; it developed additional character neither aromatically or in flavor as dinner progressed. Very good but would be cautious about aging this more than a few years.
