Edit: This note was ment for 2011 Nuits d'Ivresse, I somehow picked the wrong wine here.
Deep, dense purple-ruby colour, the aromas on the nose alone hit me like some revelation. Truly complex, with notes of wet leafs, forest floor, black currant, leather and bell pepper. Enough tannin and fruit to go a while further, but drinking superbly right now.

Very nice. A bit rustic and woodsy when first opened, but quickly blew off. Elegant middle weight cab franc with peppery notes. Really started to show balance once the hanger steak cooked with wine and marrow, i.e. needs fat/meat to soften tannins and draw out fruit. To my taste, think another 2-3 years in bottle would yield good things.

Crimson color. Warm, rich nose, with some jammy red fruit, rhubarb, and an earthy scent of fallen pine needles. The palate enters with similar jammy fruityness to the nose, becoming gently tannic at midpalate, and finishing with a lingering acidity. This has a burly rusticity through nose and mouth; it is pleasing but not terribly refined. Very food friendly, if you're eating heartier meat dishes.

Red berries, earth, mushroom, hint of chocolate and mint on nose. Complex and inviting. Sweet fruit palate, great freshness but the tannins in the medium bodied structure are rather rough textured and finish a bit drying. Maybe a touch of heat on the finish. Rustic but honest and vibrant
