Saturday, March 11, 2023 - Loire whites and reds: 13.5% AbV; all Cab Franc from 70+ y.o. vines, 20% new barrels

dark red colour in the glass with medium-plus body and bit of cloudiness. in the nose a lot of barnyard funk that took a while to subside but never completely blew away… yet allowed for some red and black fruits to poke thru. these come across more clearly in the mouth while held in check by moderate acidity and a substantial tannic core that needs more time to integrate.

not sure if this specific bottle was particularly funky or all the wine is like that… all the same, i do see some upside potential with some good aeration and more bottle age.
