The bottle was mildly corked and that ruined the bouquet. The taint was not bad enough and the wine was still drinkable. Ripe fruit and good minerality and balance.

A bit rustic but nice. Dark fruits, eaerth and tobacco on the nose. A bit of green pepper, sleek black fruits and a nice earthiness. Decent finish. 90 points

Not sure how this vintage is perceived in the Loire, but I have yet to be impressed with this particular wine. And I realize it's his entry level bottle, so I'm not really looking for a revelatory experience, but given the way that folks rave about Baudry, I'm starting to think that I don't possess the palate receptors for Loire reds.
FWIW, the nose was vaguely pleasant, but this comes across as thin and weedy on the palate.

Fair. So I guess that's better than "meh", but nothing to get overly excited about either.
