Vibrant, great balance between fruit and acidity, a little bit of astringency tough: not an easy drinking cabernet franc, but definitely a quality wine. The price is high, but it certainly leaves a mark on your memory.

Pours dark ruby red. A direct and strong nose of forest fruits. On the palate it is classic Loire cab franc: peppery, sandy, lively acid, strong streaks of mushroom and forest floor. Medium tannins and finish with slightest hint of cocoa. Am no expert on this region but this delivered to expectations, no more no less; I feel I could have picked this out of a lineup blind as a classy Bourgeuil.

91 today, but has so much potential in the bottle. Probably 93-95 after another 10 years.

Lovely tannin on this wine. Palate is good but I’d say that’s its best feature.
