2010 Loire reds are so good. Elegant, balanced, nice purple fruit, pepper and earth, savory, supple but structured, will last another decade at least

May 11th, 2021I love this. Superb balance. Crunchy, pure red and black fruits and earth, dry leaves and flower petals. Going to stock up on a few more as it should improve another 5-10 years

About that cab franc binge... the bang for buck on Guion’s Bourgueils are crazy.

Blackberries, raspberries, black cherries, cinnamon, wild flowers, mixed herbs, a little black tea and tobacco leaf, and pencil lead. Hint of black pepper on the finish. Medium bodied but plush while still being fresh. Great bang for the buck.

Nice and peppery, for some reason I always lean Cab Franc for Indian food.

Ripe black cherry, a bit of tart raspberry, green tobacco leaf and green pepper. Lovely intensity of savory/herbal with a background of fruit on the nose. Pencil shavings on back. Palate leans taut, mineral and still a fair bit of tannins. Not as polished as @Keith Levenberg ‘s bottle, but maybe in a more awkward phase with a bit less baby fat.

Nice cab franc. Light, but still complex after opening up a bit.
