Bourgueil Mi-pente Cabernet Franc

From a Magnum. Some green peppers and some animal scents, but not too disturbing, medium plus bodied and tannins, some freshness despite the varietal, good but not a wine that drinks easily. 89-90

Clairement Cab franc au nez comme en bouche, poivron vert, un peu animal mais à peine, quand même une fraîcheur et des tannins d’intensité moyenne, c’est bon sans être un type de vin qui se boit très facilement.

Blackberry and cherries, pepper, pencil lead, tobacco, earth 👍

Роза, черноплодка, лавровый лист, табак. Мягко, плотно, слегка дубово, но при этом элегантно.

Röda bär, lite kärva lingon, grönt, mineral, lite blommigt (kaprifol?)

Man, this is good. Tobacco, meaty with blueberry/blackberry notes. Grippy rustic tannins.
Full but fresh and so easy to drink at the same time.
Really awesome cabernet franc.

Someone give jacky blot a medal for keeping it affordable and delicious.

Strawberry jam at the front, graphite, pepper and tannins at the back ... light, balanced, smooth and energetic
