Drinking much younger than expected. Still plenty of fruit and drinking at peak. Should go another 20, no problem! — 5 months ago

Cuvée du Domaine Saint-Nicoles de Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 1996

As phenomenal as I remember from nearly a decade ago. Scintillating nose of stewed ripe capsicum, dried blackberries and black raspberry, savory sweet tobacco, dried trumpet mushroom, also fresh blackberry and fresh bell pepper. Medium bodied, moderate alcohol, beautiful acidity- medium plus. Medium tannins (super melted). Finish has a lot to say- fruits are more forward than the last bottle I had. This is really nice! — 8 years ago

@Ira Schwartz I have been quite unimpressed with the recent bottlings (05, 06, 09, 13) but love the 89 and 96. I'm not sure if something changed but it seems like the wines got leaner and coarser. Unless there's a magical age transformation?

@Rajiv Ayyangar much appreciate the detailed information. Different winemaker/ownership?

St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Vieilles Vignes 1993

St. Nicolas son! Just such a wonderfully light interpretation of cab franc! Crisp green peppers, peppercorn, and blackberry. — 3 years ago
