  Red, medium intensity. Developed, medium(-) nose. Powder, oak, asphalt. Some hints of stable and stems. In mouth, dry, high(-) acidity, medium(+) gravelly tannins, almost fullbodied. Clean dark fruit, oak as wood boards, root vegetables and some stems. Alcohol almost not felt at 12,5% Good length with fruit and oak. Plus a coarse drying after feel. This is austere energy in a bottle.
  
  Cabernet franc raised 18 month on barrels. No SO2 added anytime during vinification/bottling.

  Au nez on sent le poivron, les baies rouges et noires bien mûres, la terre noire, pointe d'olive noire
  La bouche est bien intégré, fraiche acidité et tanins assouplis. Il y a une bonne amertume en trame de fond, qui dépasse très légèrement. Le fruit est mature et "on the spot", la finale salivante. Longueur moyenne tout au plus. Très bien. Un peu cher. J'ai hésité pour la note, 88-89 pts.

  from magnum. bought on release, kept in an underground cellar.
  
  robe - not showing much age to it, flashes of violet , good clarity, surprising not much sediment
  nose, a bit muted at first but after a 3o min decant, showing notes of red and blue fruits, very cab franc, no real breton funk. very clean
  palate - decent length , very nice balance with blue fruits, clean acidity and dusty tannins. this is not very dense or concentrated in a good way.
  I have had this wine on a few occasions and it is starting to reveal itself. We have one more mag in the cellar and I will keep it for another 2 years. All in all, this is a very tasty wine , surely not flashy and the comments around the table was " clean " The only reason I am cautious of keeping this a for some time is due to the missing of sulphites.
  it is always a pleasure to drink this. if you are a fan of loire reds, this is a must try. drink over the next 2 to 3 years but no worries about drinking now .

  With our resourcED box from Blue Hill at Stone Barns w/ pheasant. Gave this about an hour of air and served with a very slight chill. Nose: dig a pit at the beach in the sand and a long baby back rib roast and maybe throw some grilled peach in there. Palette is multifaceted, dark chocolate covered cherries. A lil funk, cuz it’s sans sulfur, but not overbearing. I can’t speak to the age status of this since it’s my first (and only) bottle, but I enjoyed it.

  In the beginning of a long drinking window, but there is so much more to be found with a few more years of patience. Red currants, currant leafs, tobacco and a hint of green bell pepper. Can't wait to have it with some development.
