4/27/2024 - Rich S Likes this wine: 92 pointsEverything you look for in an aged cabernet franc. Medium garnet color. Showed some definite green pepper and earthy forest floor notes on the nose with a bit of plum and black cherry but definitely more savory than fruit driven. On the palate however the fruit still comes through along with medium+ acidity and a slightly spicy but smooth finish. Pretty good length on the finish as well. Really enjoyed it. |

4/28/2024 - short_nebbiolo476 Likes this wine: 87 pointsA refreshing fruit-driven wine with enough to keep it interesting. On the nose there's violet, a little blueberry and some peppery notes. On the palate, it is light and fresh, with a little grip and texture. Enjoyable on its own or with food. I'd buy this again for around the £12-£14 mark. |

4/26/2024 - Vinumming & Ahhing Likes this wine: 89 pointsGrassy nose, some suggestions of Rocket and later just a hint of spearmint. With air this grows on me there's a little crème pat and hints of Robinson's Lemon Barley Water. Palate is very fresh, a little sweeter than expected and has a certain nettle character. Nice start to proceedings. |

4/28/2024 - exonian Likes this wine: 94 points'Re-corked and re- labelled, this wine seems 35 years young - a perfectly delicious example of mature Loire Cabernet Franc. I didn't decant, and decided to live with the not excessive amount of sediment. The wine is a fading garnet, with a wide rim, and decent legs for a 12.5% wine. When first opened there is a burst of blackcurrant leaf and cassis, which persists as the nose opens out over the next hour to show leather and menthol, chocolate, raspberries, gaminess, truffle, and and those ethereal floral notes . On the palate, the mouthful is smooth and almost creamy, with residual tannins acidity offering a chewy darker feel. The flavours are of cassis, chocolate,vanilla, and tobacco. |

4/28/2024 - Robin & Emma Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep ruby. Nose of serious graphite and cigar box, showing ripe (but not overripe) black fruits with a bit of breathing. The palate is fine-grained and linear with shaved tannins and a lingering blackberry finish. This could easily go another ten or fifteen years, it’s still presenting as quite young and tight. |

4/28/2024 - aajder wrote: 87 pointsDeeper color. The nose shows slightly oxidized aromas of zesty citrus fruits, herbs, minerals and a hint of creamy pear. This is medium bodied on the palate with very good concentration and good class. The medium plus length finish features a mineral element. |

4/28/2024 - dcbell Likes this wine: 91 points‘19 bottling. Quite an intense nose - pastry, lemon, frangipane, parsley stalks. Small bubbles, fading fairly quickly. Good intensity and structure, some slightly warming ginger and spice flavours. Fresh but comforting at the same time. |

4/28/2024 - bacchus of knockholt Likes this wine: 91 pointsWhat a lovely wine. Pale gold colour with a honeyed palate of apple fruit and delightful white pepper and spice. Bright acidity balance it all out on the long finish. Great value for about £18. |

4/27/2024 - Tobinski Likes this wine: NRInitially tight with overpowering heavy ash/smoke, this took a good 30 minutes to settle down and harmonize. Rather than classic cab franc green pepper, the savory came in the form of lead pencil, black olives, and cigar box. Blown away by the depth and structure for the price point. |

4/28/2024 - sjfunkenhauser wrote: 90 pointsA little muted on the nose, even with some air. Orchard fruit, peaches, minerality and some toast. Is this going through a closed phase? Or would it have been better to drink younger? Regardless, very nice for the price. |

4/28/2024 - Capt Cutlass Likes this wine: 90 pointsNo formal notes but I got through 6 of these in a blink of an eye. This is an outstanding vintage and amazing QPR! This is all about silky, fruit forward enjoyability yet it works well with food thanks to a dash of pepper character which gives a hint of drying tannins. Re-buy if it’s this good regularly! |
