Lithe. Plenty of herbal/savory qualities without being overtly green. Purple in tone; fresh violets, fresh black currants and blackberries. The tannins are there, but only just, working with the acidity to give this wine a shape; there's little fruit on the palate. You could say this was slightly dilute and tart, or that it was interesting but quaffable, depending on your predilections.

Fruity floral aromas. Very lean, tart and austere with aggressive tannins that distracted from the underlying taste.

Struck me as the perfect balance for Loire Cab franc. Beany, both green and coffee.

Funky, stinky cheese nose. More of the same on the palate. A bit much, almost a little dirty.

Per Bianca of PBB: Notes of plum, raspberry and cherry mixed with herbal notes like thyme, green pepper, and a little spice, and crushed rock on the nose. It's fresh and juicy, with ripe red and black fruits on the palate, with bright acidity and a bit of crunchy tannins.

Me: drink this on the same day.
