Perfectly ripened 'Franc' with great focus and depth. This is driving and bright but avoids being pinched or tart. Some world class winemaking/growing on display here; the intent and purpose is striking.

Purple red fruits. Menthol. No green at all. Cranberry, watermelon, bittersweet cocoa. Complex as fuck nose. Iodine, loamy element as well. Juicy as fuck. So clean. Stunning showing.

All kinds of closed up. Flat & naff. Shame.

Disappointing. Starts with some funk and red fruit but then hollows out.

Jun 27th, 2022Has taken a while to unfold. Bright acid,
Some tannic grip, light bodied and some tart red berry. Might need a bit more cellaring.

Nothing marginal here. Texturally this feels like what Riesling would feel like if were a red grape. So alive and energetic.

Perfectly plump, smooth, round, dark purple almost black berries in liquid form. Nice acidity with a layer of pleasant green on the finish. Juicy.
