At Boston Wine & Poker, Needham, Mass.: Tasted blind. Smells like peanut butter, with some matchstick. Tastes much lighter than it smells. Tannic. Fruit salad.

A clear ruby color. Nose is musty dark and sweet fruit. Opening is that primary grape sweetness then moves to a quite hollow mid-palate followed by an acidic driven balsamic finish. The life has bled out in my estimation. Likely best before 2017 which is my current end date. Will leave it at that. One aged example only but I am left with the impression that Baudry's more acidity driven approach this year vs. tannin does not age as well. His less serious wines are beautiful young and I have some nice examples of tanninc driven Loire Cabernet Franc that age nicely.

Short impressions: needs some air, still nice if not better on day three, clearly CabFranc with a bit of green notes, good now but will hold for many years. Very good plus.

Short impressions: healthy red, no bricking, juciy and flavorful, nothing unripe here but still rather lean. Refreshing and moreish. Drinks well now. Excellent. Drink now.

Le vin était parfaitement prêt à boire, excellent, fondu avec de l'énergie, un bel équilibre. Il manquait d'un poil de rondeur en dégustation, mais avec le repas, il était juste parfait. On l'a bu pile à l'heure.
