Well balanced. (293 views) | | Tasted by CasperE on 12/3/2023 & rated 92 points: Dark coloured. Intense nose: blackberries, earth, pyrazine, graphite. Fresh and vibrant taste. Vertical with fine grained tannins. It delivers the from the start, but it is actually better on the third day. The rest from the case will be stored for at least two years. Very good. (459 views) | | Tasted by Kitura on 8/12/2023 & rated 89 points: Darker almost purple colour. Dark fruits and acidity. Quite a bit of tannin. Well balanced wine. Really enjoyed this. (809 views) | | Tasted by scorbett on 8/9/2023: Dark fruit, incense, maybe some dried violets. Earthy core of black and blue fruit. Mid-heavy weight in the mouth with a short finish.

2016 vintage: "Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson
