Very nice, punches way above its weight for a humble base cuvée. A healthy dollop (some might say ladleful) of brett, but pure cherry and plum fruit, earth and tobacco. Quite generous with the fruit, a bit attenuated in the mid-palate, but with a handsome finish.

Excellent, pure rendition of cabernet franc. Deep red. Not rich, yet just rich enough. Has just a little of the Baudry barnyard that I love. Terrific acidity with moderate alcohol keeps me coming back for another sip, especially with food.

Can't tell if this is corked, very herbal, or brett. Setting aside brett/cork taint, green pepper (very prominent) strawberry, cherry, tobacco. Medium body, fresh fruit on palate given high acidity - tart cherry, cherry, wet stone. Low tannins, long finish. If Brett, should be tasty tomorrow - if corked, will smell/taste worse. NR (for now).

Opened quickly. Fantastic with a simple roast chicken. No rush to drink these soon, no reason not to.
