Nice amount of age and drinking really well. I think 2 more years and it will be in a serious sweet spot

A surprisingly candy-like cherry nose make away for a bright cherry palate complemented by volcanic asphalt and chalky minerality. A hint of plant oils and green bell pepper. Vegetal and earthy. Yum.

Aromatic more than anything. Suspect bottle that was dominated by acid.

Stylish and true to its variety and origin, this still youthfully aromatic CF offers structure and plenty of reserves. I'm confident that this elegant and refined Loire red will offer immense pleasure in another 5-15 years.
