Damn! This wine was simply badass last night. Scintillating acidity, judo-like palate weight, explosive with apple and key lime in the nose and lots of smoky CLR. This wine will only become more interesting if you hold onto it, but it's an electrifying experience today. 2013 Vintage, A Francoise. — 9 years ago

Holy. Shit. This is an orgasmic explosion of peppercorn and strawberries. Like a summer-long international love affair with some guy named Francoise. I would write more about this wine, but I fear it would devolve into pornography. Suffice it to say, I need more. — 9 years ago
