2011 | Cabernet Franc
Domaine Guiberteau; Les Motelles
Loire; Saumur, Montreuil-Bellay, France
(92-93; Drink 2026-2036)

Palate seems closed...But nose is right on for the region.
Much improved with 24H of airing out, palate still wants more time, but the nose is textbook for the region.

Showing a lot better than it did 18 months ago. Classic funky Saumur.

Dense on opening and better on second day with dark plums and blackberries. Want to taste again in five years.
