 Tasted by sjwshiraz on 11/23/2020: Perfect aged Loire CabFranc. Delightful. Will continue to hold well (388 views)
 Tasted by JimmyBubbles on 1/5/2017 & rated 90 points: Increiblemente abierto y expresivo desde el inicio.

Algo de caballeria y especias exóticas, curry, cardamomo.Fruta roja reducida, endrinas. Algún apunte mineral. Pimientas del mundo.

La boca tiene garra y es muy fresca, nada de oxidación, bastante vertical y muy jugosa, en la linea de la finura. Un vino muy frances, de terruño. Espectacular teniendo en cuenta los años en botella. (928 views)
