  Drinking window listed for this is too narrow, this is not a wine of insignificant structure. 'til 2015 at least.

  Good structure, focused on the palate. Some tea, earth and tobacco notes. Best with food. 88 points.

  If you have a bottle of the 2009 drink it now; it may be too late anyway. Bad nose at first but once it opened up with some agitation it has a decent nose and very mild palate. Whatever was there in other bottles a year ago is..tannins, tobacco, decent acid, terroir, all seems gone. Not much in the way of mouthfeel. Just some dried fruit like raisin and blackberry on the nose, blackberry itself in the taste, and more than a dash of black pepper in the taste remain. Drinkable, decent, but nothing special.

  Vinet påminner om beaujolais med tanke på mineraliteten och bodega colomes amalaya i frukten. Väldigt gott med myckeet ren röd frukt.

  Nice inexpensive wine, great Loire personality, food friendly. Loved it. Nice slightly chilled, say, a glass with lunch.
  
  The next day, some of the roughness recedes, and gives way to a meaty, funky (pleasantly so) nose. Surprised to find quite a bit of underlying complexity.
