Quite good. Black pepper, very tart fruits, some barnyard, complex acid, chalky tannins. Reminiscent of cool climate syrah.

Feels young still. Not giving much pleasure yet and likely won’t in the first 10 years.

Def need to age, perfect pairing with red and fatty meat. Earthier and more mineral notes

One of the bottles from a recent Old World vs New World cab francs. Clean but not very well balanced. Reminds me of the pencil sharpener in grade school. I’ve been wanting to try more from Loire Valley but this just didn’t do it for me.

Very distinctive start and finish. Fruity acid start that mellows down into slight oakiness.

Nice Cab Franc from Bourgeil. Quite earthy and a bit of game to accompany dark fruit blackberry on the nose. Medium body and tannins, medium acid, a bit rustic on the finish. Nice wine.
