One of the best wines of 2015 for me so far, absolutely a top 10. Pure #cabernetfranc from a new-ish producer started this label with 2010. We were told the nose was reduced when opened so make sure you decant. By the time it made it to us it was open for business with perfume, come hither aromatics. The nose and palate gave cherries, cassis, a touch of subtle spice, with a core of minerality and freshness. The palate has weight with plush and silky grain, fresh and lively on the palate with a mineral rock core. #loire
