  Wine Education Service - The Loire Valley (LSE): Just translucent, brown rim.
  Classic cabernet franc bouquet, sweet vegetables, beetroot and parsnip.
  Fruity attack, strong but soft tannins, needs food, quite long, would keep 2-4 years.

  Really smoky tobacco filled nose, very savoury in style. The palate is much like the nose with nice cigar smoke flavours, still a good amount of bramble fruit and that same slight stalky-ness that was there in previous bottles. Very dry on the finish, more noticeable than previous bottles.

  Slightly muted nose, coffee, chocolate, liquorice notes, along with slightly stewed red fruits. Mature. Light-bodied, more red fruit on the nose, strawberry, redcurrant, touch of blueberry. Very low tannins, still decent acidity. Pleasantly mature and not really for keeping any longer.

  Much fresher than last bottle, still the same stalky nose and notes of smoky tobacco and blackcurrant fruit. Very savoury but feels a little more lifted than the last bottle. Still think its time to drink-up.

  Very similar to the last bottle, but a bit brighter and less stalky. It's well balanced, there is still a lovely smoky tobacco character and the black fruits are a touch savoury which is enjoyable.
