Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2010

9.7

Youngest Raffault I've ever tasted. Classic expression with a very slight Brett note but wound up very tight. Decant, decant, decant or wait. — 10 years ago

Great expression of the vintage. Firm tannins and structure with great fruit. For the price it's hard to beat. — 11 years ago

"Bobby" Parker made his name, built his entire career, with the 1982 vintage. Did "Bobby" eeny-meeny-miny-mo correctly?

Web: dunno but this was banging. Some 82s I have tried the Brett sort of takes them over or they are kind of dead. This was good. Are you in the neighborhood? I have a few ounces left if you wanna try:-)

Josh, you are sweetheart, thank you. I am in Tahoe this eve for work(yeah!) and Grass Valley/Sacramento tomorrow for work. It's OK to be jealous regarding all the Proseco and Malbec you are missing! But, seriously(no, really, seriously), '82 is the vintage "Bobby" became famous most specifically because he persuaded investment, which has garnered returns. If the wines actually drink well, then boo-yah, "Bobby"! Seriously, I am thrilled the bottle is bangin'!
