I was lost with this CabFranc. Love Loire juice but this was shaken and stirred. Was in a weird place.

Stunning gorgeous harmonious Cab Franc. This wine is not available in the US. A friend hand carried this back from France. Very small production. Ready to go now with a double decant.

Dark fruit, meaty slightly, some red peppers too. Palate is soft for a young Alliet, open knit, nice fruit and tannins that are approchable, the balance is good and the elegance is there already.

Beau vin très ouvert et assez approchable déjà, fruits noirs, poivrons rouges et un peu viandeux mais à peine. Bel équilibre et des tannins agréables déjà en jeunesse, très bien.

a very good cab franc. reminds me of Paleo but on a less ripe version. No Brett or reduction....smell of small red berries, riper peppers and a touch of graphite. Second day it began to shut down but was more balanced. No touching my other ones for 4 or 5 years
