The nose throws a combo of lush red fruit, a dab of barnyard funk, and the slightest bell pepper in tandem with violets. All confirmed on the palate with grippy chalky tannins, lingering finish, and excellent acidity. Decent integration. Solid Bourgueil.

Great #CabFranc. This #changed dramatically over a couple hours. Minute red berries, damp earth. Opens nicely from vegetal, stemmy, to robust berries, prominent chalky tannin. The bitter component comes across as an underlining chili pepper. The wine is smooth , clear, pleasant.

Licorice, root beer, carrot and flowers on the nose. Super dry floral finish. Very interesting! #bourgueil #france #wine

Classic shark's tongue feel and acidity for the Franc. Opens with tart cherry preserves, rhubarb hints of dark chocolate. Gentle lasting finish. Pleasure

White pepper on the nose with cranberry and green olive on the palate...light to medium body with short, tight tannins. Interested to revisit after it opens up a bit.
