Vintage 2015 / a biowine that seems to be made for a Parisien brasserie or café: delightful frivolous, serious spicyness in smell, round taste. Drinks like lemonade, which is beautiful ánd dangerous as well. Nice Loire cabernet franc.

Good concentration. From acid and tannins. Medium complexity. Fine length. Needs food! #chinon #loirevalley #cabernetfranc #ctbucklinwine

Juicy but does that chinon thing where it feels like it’s on the precipice
