Just drop dead gorgeous wine. Very floral nose, bursts out of the glass with white lilies. Light body, floral, red fruits. @garagiste purchase

Shows nicely! Fruit is gone, but leaves pleasant smoke/embers on the nose, some licorice root

Terrific, with dark fruit and earth accented by a perfect touch of pyrazine. Still holding up very well.

Since I just had the 2009 vintage the other night, I figured to try the 2000 vintage to see how these Loire cab francs age.
Nice funky black fruit, and green pepper aromas. BlackBerry, mushrooms, green pepper, and tobacco. Tannins still show a bit and enough fruit structure to last another 3 to 5 years easily.

Beautiful BlackBerry aromas. 100% cab franc and the green vegatal flavors shine through with raspberry, blackberries, and cassis. A great unique wine!
