Typical ruby color. The nose is a bit earthy with vegetable notes, maybe a tiny hint of green, and something a bit dusty. Smooth, moderate to low acid, low tannins.

Dark core with a ruby rim. Smelled earthy with blackberry and sweet black cherry with some cab franc bell pepper; tasted mostly the fruit. Medium-plus bodied with good balance, but a somewhat short finish.

Deep ruby color. Black and green peppercorns on the nose, opening up to blackberries and blueberry jam, very fresh and young. On the palate you have more fresh almost vegetal flavors, green bell pepper backed up by black fruit. Just the right amount of acidity to keep things interesting. The finish is somewhat short. High QPR. Nice introduction to Saumur Cab Franc.

Deep ruby.
Fresh dark fruit and an enough tart substance to keep this quite fresh and exciting.
Rather amazing at this level.
