  Savoury, herbaceous, floral, earthy, bretty and slightly volatile. Yes it is funky and a bit natty, but i do love me some funk, as long as it is balanced and the wine does not end up in a mousey state. No trace of mouse here after being open for two days. The fruit is just beautiful. Pure elegance! 12,5 abv in 2015! Well done.
  
  Drinking well now, but still has years left in the engine.

  I don’t normally comment on the appearance but I find the combination of transparency and haziness attractive here. The nose is simply divine for any fan of the variety. Savory, slightly volatile with tangy redcurrant fruit, paprika, herbs and a touch of barnyard. Sauvage, a bit natty to be honest. Still, bright and expressive more than anything. The palate is simply excellent, on the richer side of medium bodied with a velvety texture and very kind yet present tannins. The fruit expression is so, so bright. Pure harmony prevails, this is dangerously approachable and drinkable. The finish is absolutely seamless and very long. There is Burgundian elegance here, the only Loire comparison I can come up with is Clos Rougeard. In other words it is all about finesse yet it is also very serious. In this time and age finding a wine like this at only 12.5% ABV feels like a win in the lottery.

  This is the more polished of the two wines. It's less earthy, less, green, perhaps less Cab Franc. But it's so damn pretty. Flora with notes of black tea. Hints of green pepper. Rocky, and clean and cool, with red fruit and a mostly earthy back end. Very nice. Ready to go, but there is also no rush.
