Dark purplish ruby. Shy-ish nose (not in ideal nosing glassware) and medium palate of black cherry, and something marzipan-y. Medium acidity, rounded out by used French (or possibly Slovenian?) oak. Light tannins assert mildly on the moderate finish. Excellent Loire PN that's a bit fatter than expected for the appellation, but still in perfect place for foods of all styles. French cuisine is of course the natural. Drink now through 2030.
