October 15, 2019 - A pizza and bbq wine today, once integrated, perhaps more. Gave the room a woody Bordeaux smell. Fruit and some secondaries seem shut down compared to previous note.

May 16, 2019 - Classic Cab Franc out of Loire. Green pepper, juiced red and black fruit, smoke, earth. Oak, coming across more as cedar sawdust, has not integrated but it’s not so bad as to be disjointed. Finishes well and goes down easily. Drinks above the price point at $13 USD. Bought a case to have more decent, inexpensive bottles for casual events. Should last well into next decade.
