Smoooove. Mellow like a good cigar on the back patio at sunset. (Ok fine I don’t smoke cigars, or have a patio, yet. Indulge me) Bottle after bottle of these library releases have been absolutely spot on. Has the leafy, musky, mesquite, cassis nose that I love so well, with black currant, plum skin, a touch of tomato and smoked meat. Slayed with barbecue and poutine topped with chilis

One of the best Cab Francs I’ve ever had ... stunning silky smooth vintage, profound complexity, yet subtle earth and finesse.

Crushed rocks, raspberry jam, green peppercorn and licorice. The fruit is clean and bright but still fairly dominated by gravelly earth.

Well priced chinon from legendary winemaker, Olga Raffault. Med body with green bell pepper, slightly grassy, tart raspberry and cherry on the nose and palate. Refreshing and mineral. Delightful!
