The red wines I tasted when I was at the south of the Loire were very different (special) compared with "typical" French wines. The complexity is not defined by the body, but by its finesse in taste. You taste the fruit, but their sweetness is in balance with the acidity with makes them taste elegant. At least when its a well-made Bourgueil. I also taste a lot of bad ones over there. This one, recommended by my importer, is just excellent. 16€ is not cheap, but for this one, worth its money. — 2 months ago
Totally delicious. Cherries, mushroom, lots of red fruit in great balance and long finish. Lots of structure, would be interested to try an older vintage but this one blew the table away — 9 months ago

Sweet, ripe red fruits with hints of blood orange on the nose. Smooth, silky tannins. Long finish. Imperial Treasure Teochew Ion with Andrew Dutton. — 10 months ago
This keeps impressing, easily comparable to Trimach Cuvee Frederic Emile. Heavy petrol with citrus, but not as much complexity as other Aussie Rieslings. Nice finish but not particularly lengthy. — 12 days ago
