Very pretty. Manure, controlled. Cherry, roses, violets, black currant, and sexy musk. Ripping acids. Transparent burgundy character. Just entering its drinking window

Mellow ripe cherries. Seductive cola aroma. Wild yeast. I think I got a little effervescence initially. Tart red fruits and minerally. Supple like an aged Rijoa with soft tannins. Medium-length finish. Could be more elegant if these guys keep the brett in check.

Always a favorite producer. Earthy red fruits, white pepper, sous bois.

A total favorite for me. Love this wine and producer. Light but full, fruit on the nose with long flowing finish of hard herbs and earth.

I just cannot get past the brett with these guys. It is always so dominant. And objectively unpleasant. There, I said it. Where do I hand in my sommelier pin?

Textbook Bourgueil. Pure, pyraziney, earthy with a beautifully light and refreshing texture. Tried again 10/22 and was pure and lovely.
