    April 25, 2024 - Well that was lovely. Texturally very appealing. Nice flavour profile. Good nose. Very lively, and perhaps in peak window? Wish i had more.

    April 1, 2023 - Funky, a bit naturalistic, but not overtly so. Earthy and animalistic, but clearly varietal with leafy and cassis notes. Stunning intensity, it jumps out of the glass. Bay leaves, coriander, there is complexity here. There is also an extra juiciness, liveliness to it, something that good natural wine can offer, yet at the same time it manages to be a classically structured, tannic cabernet franc with proper weight. Big on flavour and character, a really enjoyable wine. Ready to drink, I can't see a reason to hold it.

    January 9, 2023 - (100% Cabernet Franc, biodynamisch produziert, die Trauben stammen von 12 verschiedenen Parzellen, vollständig entrappt, spontan fermentiert, ohne Schwefel vinifiziert, im Betontank ausgebaut und mit minimer Zugabe von Schwefel abgefüllt). Expressiv, krautig, Paprika, rote und dunkle Beerenfrucht, Himbeeren, Brombeeren, florale Töne, pfeffrige Würze, auch ein Hauch von Bret schwingt mit, Love-it! Im Gaumen reiffruchtig, saftig, knackig, sehr balanciert, noch jugendlich, die Säure ist vif, perfekt verpackt, die Tannine sind reif, leichter bis mittlerer Körper und dabei ordentlich Druck im Gaumen. Ein wilder, sehr natürlicher Loire-Cabernet, elegant, frisch, würzig und rotfruchtig im Abgang. Man liebt dies, oder man hasst es. Ich liebe diesen Stil. Macht ab sofort für sicherlich 10 Jahre Spass. Jetzt bis 2033+, 91 vvPunkte www.vvwine.ch
