October 7, 2023 - October 2023 Loire Dinner (Mathilde - SF): This had an incredibly silky texture and elegance paired with power and density (and a lifted jolt of refreshing energy on the finish). Sleek, complex, and ravishing. But, I feel, a Cab Franc for Bordeaux lovers rather than Loire lovers, who may prefer a slightly crunchier texture.

October 7, 2023 - Loire Tasting (Mathilda Bistro, San Francisco): Gorgeous nose with complex flavors of mushrooms, dark fruit, underwood, black cherries, and nice depth. Good acidity and very pretty on the palate with leather notes, red fruit, cherries, plums, and blackberries. Long finish. There is just a hint of bell pepper that might suggest Cabernet Franc but overall this feels quite "Burgundian". Fantastic wine with lots of complexity and depth!

October 7, 2023 - Berserker Offline (Mathilde Bistro - SF): My first Rougeard. Oh so classy, with plush dark fruit, wood smoke, black pepper, ripe red pepper, so long and deep. Just keeps getting better and better over 3 hours, revealing a spiced prune in Armagnac component in the best possible way. Effortlessly elegant with cashmere tannins which makes you want to roll this on your tongue all night. It is clearly not showing all its cards yet, but it is so pleasing to drink already. Mouton of the Loire, maybe.

October 10, 2022 - A very impressive showing of Bourg. Dense and elegant, long and complex, balanced and focused.Silky tanins, freshness on the palate, pepperbell and floral aromas, crushed blackberry, cedar, truffle, hints of earthiness. Already delicious and can only benefit of a further aging IMO.
