Le Petit Cormier Cabernet Franc 2011

Comparing a couple 2011 Loire Cab Francs this weekend. This offering, brought home from Paris in December, is incredibly lively and bright for a 9 year old wine. Bright and juicy with tons of varietal fruit character. Great acid. Sub €30 I think and is something I wish I had a case of. Perfect every day drinker (amazing to say that about a 2011) - not incredibly complex but incredibly delicious. Enjoyed standing around the kitchen waiting for homemade pizza to come out of the oven (margarita and sausage/mushroom pies). — 5 years ago

Domaine de la Côte Sainte-Epine

Côte Sainte-Epine by Mikael Desestret St. Joseph Syrah 2017

Beautiful inky dark Syrah. Ready to go after a couple hour decant. And a nice pairing with roast chicken thighs with lemon and green olives. Quite seamless on the palate with a bit of structure. Maybe one smidge less acid than I hoped for at the end to make it sing - but still very nice. — 3 years ago

Côte Sainte Épine Syrah 2017

Wow. Quite intense. Peppery, forest fruit spicy. Violet, fennel and black currant. Very sweet but also herbal, garrigue, and with pleasant bitterness; spicy, with a long finish. Really good stuff. Super concentrated. — 3 years ago

@Lyle Fass definitely. But I’m still in the sampling phase of my Fass Selections journey, so throwing caution to the wind.

I will say though, it’s massive and time will be good, but this is not closed at all. Really fragrant and complex.
