Les Clos Lyzières Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc

Young. Needs more time. Would love to try again in a year to see how fast it’s moving. SS

Sacred Thirst tasting. Another double plus from today. Two from this producer. Dominique likes this vintage. Only uses concrete on this from start to finish. Tasty and a deal.

was a perfect match with lamb

Aromatically somewhat muted, but still a quite nice Saumur cab franc. Very nice mouthfeel. Acids bit less than I was hoping. Everything quite integrated. Probably slightly lower than expectations but still a nice wine.

Phenomenal. A deep, concentrated cab franc with excellent structure. Drinks really well now with air, has at least 7+ years of evolution to go. Dark berries, mulberries and blackberries, lavender, cocoa, classic Loire bell pepper, leather, wet rock. Superb.

Just how I like Cab franc - red fruit, complexity. Lovely wine:)

Solid. Prefer the 11.

Delicious, dark violets. Rich. Dark blackberries

Dark, lacquered fruits. Soft, but with adequate acid. I'd guess this is what purple would taste like, if you could taste color.

Riper and denser than expected, black cherry pits
