Random Notes from Travels in France; 4/6/2012-4/14/2012 (Paris, Loire, Alsace): Medium ruby. Sexy nose smoky high char oak and sour red fruit. Gently oaky base, tart red fruit, average acidity and soil-inflected finish. Yes, it is pretty dressed up, but there is a lot to like and admire about this 10 year old Loire red. Impressive if a tad manipulated.
