  A little out of sorts the first night, this came alive on the second. Lifted and floral nose, and an airy palate of crisp red fruit, minerals, and subtle stems.
  Really nice, given enough air time. Or time in bottle - seems like this will age very well.

  Liked this bottle quite a lot. Gave it about a 2 hour decant. Savory, almost saline minerality. Tobacco and berry notes, superb balance, moderate length, I think will continue to develop. Really happy to own more of these and several other crus from Germain in this vintage.

  Not a detailed note, but an honest typical Loire cabernet franc, shy nose, good acid fruit on the palate, great with sausages.
