2010 from magnum. No internet where I was in the Loire, so notes from memory for the next 7-wines or so. Medium bodied, dark fruits, dill, earth, nice acid and a very long toasty finish. Drinking great now. — 3 days ago
Melon, citrus, medium minus bodied, stone fruit, nice acid. — 25 days ago
Interesting wine, big for Gamay, but Gamay aromatics there. Big fruit, spice, medium acid, earthy. Fun, but not typical style for the grape. — 2 days ago
Broad, medium bodied, big fruits, medium tannins, dried herbs and nice acid. — 2 days ago

First Vacheron Rouge for me I believe. Full but soft at the same time. Raspberry, cherry, cola, wild fruit and nice acid. Reminded me a bit of a Santa Rita Hills Pinot, minus the whole, rustic/earthy French tones. Really nice. — 2 days ago
Really fun wine. Easy drinking, lots of spice and red fruits with great acid. Damn good for a price tag of 4-euros. — 2 days ago
Waxy, more herbal than fruity, but still has a citrus element, with nice acid. — 25 days ago

Ok, no judging (Doug 😁). Box rose from Provence for 12-euro (yes 4-bottles for 12-euro). This was nice. Strawberry, watermelon, nice acid. What more could you ask for when it’s 80-degrees in the Loire by the pool. — 2 days ago
