Nicely typical cab franc fruit, a little coarsely tannic and big, maybe due to the vintage, which is obscuring the minerality and freshness that I'd rather see in entry level Anjou rouge. Good, solid, but ever so slightly pricey compared to other mid-teens Loire CFs for the quality, imo and keeping in mind bottle variation.

Decanted for one hour. Dark purple, hint of vanilla. Wife found it overly tannic, although I thought it a little softer around the edges. First experience with CF from this region, but it didn't disappoint. Great QPR at around $17. Solid B wine / 85pts

Very herbaceous cabernet franc. reminiscent of damp wood. very tannin-forward.

Good bbq wine-nice tannins in after taste. Nice considering the price.
