Just a great wine. 100% amphorae aged and fermented Cabernet Franc from vineyards in Muscadet. Much more open than last bottle. Gorgeous pure berry fruit. Mid season cherry. Some cassis. Spice. Resin. Almost smells like an e an m Grand Cru. Unreal florals, herbals and spice. Sick nose 9.6 nose. Leather. So complex. Just sick. Just noticed 11.5% alcohol. Deep, tannic and ripe. Big tannins but so elegant and finesse driven. Obvious structure and tannins place all over the mouth. Sappy and barely sweet with immense power and depth. Concentrated tiny berry fruit. Juicy and pure. So long and deep but also has so much more fruit, structure and other good stuff in reserve. So good.

Insane Cabernet Franc! All done in amphorae! Notes later, but wow!!!
Deepest and darkest blackberry flavor I've pretty much ever experienced, throw cherries past your glass as well, light cocoa flavors... Every way you look at this bottle, it's too young. Decanted for 3.5 hours and it was beautiful, looking forward to checking in on this in a year and then 5+ going forward. Wow.

Funk! Super interesting. Did not love on it's own but with the preserved truffle it really made sense.
