Great fruit and earthy forward wine. Ripe and clean with none of that green pepperish taste. Thin and sandy tannins that brings backbone to the wine.

2009 vintage. Hello old friend. Wafting very earthy classic burly Bourgie nose. Smells like a lesser Graves from a forward year. Like Larrivet or de France. Soft, juicy palate, with lovely acidity and ripe tannin. Very clean.

Some acid, some rocks - lots of green pepper.

Moss and bramble on the nose. Gives the mental image of morning dew and spring foliage. In the mouth, tart acidity drives this wine with a pleasant herbaceous finish.

Straightforward delivery. Good length, but no layers. Lots of fruit paired well with beef.

Clean, balanced Bourgueil. Dark fruit with a nice tart, tannic side. Inky black fruit with just a touch of green spice. Some graphite and iron as well.
