Community Tasting Note

  • mattyboy_ Likes this wine: 94 points

    May 28, 2015 - While clearly young, this is very much approachable. I must say without stating the obvious lineage of this wine, that the pedigree is there and the wine is cut from the same <insert Loire cult/unicorn wine producer here> cloth.
    The wine is like a fine jewel, incredibly polished with a silky Burgundian texture and sensuous nature. In the mouth it has poise, transparency and freshness. Very complex. The aroma marries earthy and gaminess with floral and wild berry flavors. You can literally see into the future, not guess, but actually see how this will gather even more complexity as it ages. This wine is a study for what exceptional cab franc is or could be. 94-96 pts.
