Sep 12th, 2022Welcome back old friend. Brick hue & translucent edge, deep black fruits & burnished leather nose, lovely medium bodied cassis blackberry body. Having drank many of these releases young, the bass and deeper notes are starting to ring. Dressner import. Yum, big time. No, I didn’t drink this at temple, but Delectable stopped feeding my proper location

Feb 10th, 2019Interesting to drink these wines young when I've had so many more mature versions. Appealing now, but this is one for the long haul without any of the much-too-muchness that marks many Loire wines from that year.

Oct 11th, 20152009-unfiltered this 100% cab franc is at his peak right now and is showing beautifully the ripe black raspberry, black cherry, a bit of cassis too, a mouth filling lifted by a good acidity.

Aug 10th, 2015Chalky stones fused with dry, dark, understated fruit. Lovely, balanced wine, but lacking a little life at the end of the palate.
