Been a couple years since I’ve had this. Still needs decanting (a little tart to start) and better the second day (after the funk blows off) great with food.

Feels like you're drinking chalk. Chalk and blood. The fruit flits by later. I dig it immensely.

Oct 8th, 2017Pure pleasure and finesse! A little tight to start, but a quick decant helped. Pretty florals and red fruit nose. I need a case of this stuff! SS

High score for enjoyability not complexity. Grainy fine tannins, real verve & energy, cassis/currants. Johannes find.

Aug 2nd, 2017I really, really am enchanted; nervy tension, luscious fruit, give it 15 minutes as starts out disjointed . Not bretty or funkified in the Raffault mold. High toned but enough of a growl to make it much more than a table wine. Johnnes selection, unsurprisingly.

Mar 4th, 2017Fresh, deep black, & it is black, cherry mineral core. A new region to me. Refreshing yet that black cherry reservoir may hold back some potential in its aging. Outrageously reasonably priced & imported by Daniel Johnnes.

Брусника, железо, лакокраска, обобщенные красные ягоды, рассол. Аромат отличный, есть слои. Тело легкое, но не элегантно, кислотность чуть торчит. Долгий брусничный финиш.
С аэрацией сглаживается, становится бархатным и прекрасным. Полчаса контакта с кислородом - и становится отлично

Sheer deliciousness. Rose, speed stick deodorant, plum, and some citric notes on nose. Cranberry, strawberry, some leafiness, black pepper and a mineral swoop in the finish. Incredibly bright with lemongrass pork chops. This got all the sauce, especially at the price point. Breezy combo of acid and tannin

At that price, this is most likely the best Loire Cab Franc I have tasted.
