Domaine Jaulin-Plaisantin
Les Bourdes Chinon Cabernet Franc
Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
Tangy, super-dark berries, bramble, a waft of sweet wood smoke, and a bit of machine oil on the nose. Bone dry but with good fruit and weight up front to balance it. I am not the biggest Loire Cab Franc guy but this is nicely done.

Very good red fruit aromas and flavors, great balance, some spicy notes as well, lingering finish, should continue to develop!
