Community Tasting Notes 4

  October 17, 2021 - Une couleur tuilé, évoluée pour un vin aussi jeune.
  L’aromatique est surprenante avec des notes épicées sur la cannelle, le spéculos même, elle se développe sur des notes végétales et terriennes.
  
  Un vin tout en délicatesse, c’est très fin avec une texture en dentelle, des tannins discrets, un développement et une finale sur la fraîcheur mentholée. Une expression originale et rafraîchissante du cabernet, j’ai beaucoup aimé. A noter que l’acidité bien présente peut surprendre voire déplaire, pour ma part j’ai adoré.

  November 4, 2020 - Certainly quite unusual, very high acidity, almost like a sweet tart candy on the finish, but in a good way. I like this more than I thought I would... best served a bit chilled I would say.

  November 6, 2019 - Charleston V - the wooden anniversary; 11/6/2019-11/10/2019 (Charleston, SC (various locations)): This was for the wine geek in me. It's a cab franc in a loire style but with some extra spritz. A wine that is 100% made to be consumed with food, but has a certain versatility there where it was fine with a bolognese and also with a cornbread with persimmon seeds. Interesting. Not at the same level as some of the others I'm sure we're enjoying this weekend, but also not at the same price point.

  October 20, 2019 - Funky, but not flawed. Day 1: screaming acidity, almost gueze-like tartness with some really awesome herbs and fruit underneath. Day2: acidity has settled in seamlessly, with cool red fruits, mint, pine needles, plum, mountain blueberry, seamless, dusty tannins, great length. Tough to score but somewhere in the 90-93 range.
