May 8, 2024 - Intriguing as always, and needing a couple hours to open up. Notes of bell pepper, leather, tart cherry, and hints of brett commingle throughout, with ample acidity moving things along. Puckery and savory, and a nice change of pace, if not a tad simple.

May 8, 2024 - This was poured from a 750 to the brim of a spare 375 screw cap, and this note is from day 5.
On the nose explosive cab franc aromatics, charred poblano, Virginia tobacco, green olive, bit of Brett funk, bit of red fruit.
On the palate medium grained tannins, mouthwatering acid, medium finish. Somewhat odd combo of silky mouthfeel with tannins that leaned just a touch rustic. Crunchy red fruit and savory tones in line with the nose.
A very fine Loire red. On pop and pour this had more fruit and proportionally less savory characteristics.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 30, 2024 - -- decanted 45 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 4 hrs. on Day 1; revisited on Day 2 --
NOSE: "dark"; medium pyrazine; barely-ripe banana; leaning high-toned; a touch stanky; wet stones / petrichor at 3.5hrs open mark.
BODY: garnet-violet color of medium-deep to deep depth; medium-light to medium bodied. Oddly, my 750s have labels intended for mags.
TASTE: jalapeno pyrazine; purple-fruited; light horse tack funk; light, medium-fine, tannins; adequate acidity; alc. not noticeable (13%). Day 2: largely the same as Day 1, including the slight funk; flashy/touch thin. I like-don't-love it; quite happy to have a couple more at the $23 I paid.2 people found this helpful Comment -
