November 26, 2023 - Crunchy red fruits. Fruit is actually quite in the background. Bright acids, firm tannins, some baking spice, peppery notes and woody herbs. Feels a little closed and could use further aging even after 2 hr decant.

July 11, 2023 - For me this style is summer, outdoors wine, made for roasted food and bbq fare. As such a partner this wine excels. It is round and lush and expressive, and sweet, but still with varietal markers. A nice tug of tannin. High qpr for me at 22€ in SWE. Drink now for above-mentioned pairing, or hold. 90/91.

January 1, 2023 - Color: Medium to deep ruby. Nose: Cassis, wild berries. Quite expressive. Mouth: Much better on the nose than on the palate. Medium expressiveness and length. Slightly diluted. Slightly green. After having been breathing for a while the beautiful nose has almost completely gone but the palate has become better. Hence 2 more points (before 78).

April 24, 2022 - Note: this vintage is Lot #102 in the Garage classification system.
Nice enough, although quite tannic for a Cab Franc. Even after decanting, it seemed a bit one-dimensional (although a very nice dimension). Didn't find the QPR compelling.
