Wild Loire cabernet franc from amphorae. Aroma of funky wild yeast and bright fruits. Like a fruit lambic. Vegetables. White pepper. Taste of tart berries and cassis. Noticeable tannins that softened the next day. Shortish, simple, finish.

Bright red fruit, cherries, raspberry preserves; freshly-cut grass, vegetal notes. Subtle earthy, leathery, barnyard notes on the palate. Well-balanced with acidity and fruit.

1998 vintage was spectacular. Like a full bodied Bordeaux. Truly impressive especially given the price point.
