Community Tasting Note

  • eboracum wrote: 85 points

    July 29, 2015 - This is a pretty example of quite lightly coloured and bodied Loire valley PN with nice bright cherry tinged PN fruit, minerals and lively acidity but somewhat simplistic at this stage. Furthermore its aromas were mildly affected by typically reductive notes, which I don't consider a flaw as they disappear with age and attenuate with air and certain remedies. Would be worth a couple or so points more without the reduction. Went surprisingly well with smoked herrings and even seemed less reduced with them. Mediocre QPR at €18.
