  Deep and brilliant ruby with magenta hints, nose is quite rustic yet with a finesse, crushed blueberries, macerated strawberries, charred bell pepper, burnt tobacco, cola, pine cones and a minty, leafy accent.
  Medium bodied, energetic, quite ready, palate is juicy, with racy acidity, high minerality, integrated alcohol (13.5%), simply blue and red fruits among the peppery and earthy finish. Silky medium tannins.
  Distinctive style, a producer to watch in the Loire Valley.
  Drink from 2025-2030.
  100% Cabernet Franc.

  Barnyard and green bell pepper, green bell pepper and barnyard.Some, little, cherry and cassis lurking in the background. Strong aromas for that price. But who likes strong green bell pepper in a barnyard??
  Rustic and rather not delightful mixture of aromas. Will four more years of aging perhaps do any good?
  
  Addendum after 1 week in the fridge: mellowed, integrated, nice cherry notes, added complexity. Still a few harsh and geen notes, but really improved (90 points now).
  So hold on to your bottles!
  This is nowhere near ready!
  Do not drink this now!
  2026+ earliest!
  (Or give it a full 10 hours decant)

  An entry level CF from a respectable producer. Made from 50-60 year old wines and aged in steel for 6-12 months. Deep ruby colour. Quite intense and very fruity aroma filled with blackberries, blueberries, cherries, licorice, hint of juniper. Medium body, fresh and lively structure with juicy texture, overly fruit forward and slightly spicy flavours, medium light acidity, grainy rich tannins.

  Gets better and better with bottle age. Verges on a 92. Probably not statistically significant. Probably will not improve, but will last on a long plane of maturity.

  Ditto previous notes. Settling down.
