Uh oh plastic cork. Hey, it’s actually ok. Black fruit accented with green herbs, a spicy twist on the finish. In a good place with light tannin, good acids, good fruit. B+

really enjoyed this - the nose was pleasant and typical of Loire cab francs, husky tannins - but not in a bad sense, great balance and finish. on day 3, it still had some snap.

Delicious. Deep fruit accented in green with whispers of spicy secondary flavors. Fairly soft on the palate with tannins that are ripe and smooth now. I don't know how the fake cork is affecting this wine--it seems to be holding up very, very well, but is it aging more quickly than it might otherwise? Who knows? Regardless, I wish it weren't there. Regardless, again, it continues to be a beautiful expression of Loire Cabernet franc.

Not as expressive as I had hoped, but this does deliver good gum-tensioning acidic fruit and decent body. Straight down the middle biodynamic Loire CF.

Finally losing some of its primary inky fruit. Love this stuff!
