Brilliant. Young. No formal day 1 notes but day 2 a bit later. Keep it tuned here.

Day 2 notes - this wine has one of the more incredible piercing cores of fruit imaginable. Stunningly pure and refined nose of dark berry fruits and wet earthy. Lots of stones and wonderful herbs. The story is the palate which is packed and stuffed with precise red and black berry fruit. Concentrated and so piercing yet fresh and lively. Can’t imagine what 5 years in cellar would do.

Red fruit, floral, dried herbs, mushroom and a bit of herbaceousness. M acid, body and tannin. Love it!

Had it at the best restaurant in St.Jean-Pied-de-Port , Les Pyrenée , again Iroleguy is fantastic, this one pure Cabernet Franc, wow . Sadly not available in Denmark, but this wine is one of a kind, extremely delicate and tasty, needs a decant, this is how Bordeaux should have been.
