Forgot this wine, no indication of vintage except on the cork! A flashy earthy dark fruited presentation straight out of some wilderness, firm almost woodsy palate and good finish. Not at all what I would have thought of as Gamay. Looked like it didn’t present well several years ago. Age difference? — 6 months ago

Cabernet sauvignon de Loire. Donc de France
Robe noire
Nez thym laurier crème de cassis sauce soja
Bouche généreuse crémeuse mais dense finale gourmande
Finale sur la mûre écrasée avec cette note rustique mais noble
Très très beau vin nature et equilibre
Que les soit disant vignerons natures prennent de la graine et apprennent ce que nature veut dire

N est ce pas mr Bouju, mme Dumora et tant d autres .... restez humble et faites des vins stables
Curieusement ma cave est la Même pour toutes les bouteilles mais les votres finissent souvent à l évier — 5 years ago

Love this rare bottling from d’ Epire. So classy. Nose is almond slices, minerals, lanolin and tweed. Palate is so nimble and elegant. Juicy and so clean with tremendous concentration and sap. Long, toothsome finish with flavors of pear and some apple. Intense, and super vivid with an almost tannic like finish. My goodness this has the structure to age decades. Truly young but profound. Amazing length and such an elegant waxiness. Stunning wine. After air the nose is so detailed and just frankly stunning. So refined. White flowers and freshly sliced almonds that are so vivid. Palate is so round and elegant. 9.5 to 9.6. So long and sapid. Super acids. So long. Profound. — a year ago

Takes a little while to open up but blossoms beautifully with bruised dark berry fruit, forrest floor, unwashed beetroot, rich stony soils d damp geraniums.
Palate has a wonderful freshness to it without being too light weight or lacking in fruit concentration. Black berry fruit is riper than you’d think from the nose and there’s a lovely stony minerality on the mid palate and finish that also shows an attractive sappidity, fine tannins, ripe acidity gives it drive.
Very finely tuned cab franc. — 4 years ago
