Mature, wonderfully integrated wine. Smooth on the palate. Some restrained barnyard and dark fruits, including some raspberry, on the nose and palate. The fruit gained some prominence on day 2, though this one maintained its elegance. Just a pretty wine that was very much enjoyed.

Wonderful aromas of red fruit and animal. Very complex and fine. Excellent acidity, a bit of sucrosity thank to solar year. Can last 10 more years but already very seducing. Always amaized by Alliet once wines are in maturity range.

Loire Valley Masterclass and Tasting: Tobacco, barnyard and earth. Nice acidity, balance is good between the meaty palate and tannin structure. Good but that barnyard makes it hard to distinguish as being from a particular place.

Structure assez fluide pour le millésime (jeunes vignes ?), mais un goût intense. Très bon après la — forte — réduction initiale.

Few notes on this. Typical Cabarnet Franc with pepper and some greenness on the nose. Sweet and sour on the palate. Fruity and concentrated wine.
