Clos Rougeard

Le Bourg Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2010

2010 vintage. At Pearl & Ash on the Lower East Side (amazing wine list) with Kish. Deep ruby hue. Blackberry, leather, earth and savoury spice. Lots of white pepper and pencil shavings. Youthful. On the palate, great piercing acidity, medium plus concentration, medium alcohol, medium plus crunchy tannins. Long savoury finish. Really shouldn't have opened as this is still a baby. Clearly big and bold. Don't open until 2025+. Will drink forever: 2040+. — 9 years ago

Just love this wine. White stone fruits complemented by a salinity and hints of ash. Complex and interesting, but absolutely delicious... — 11 years ago

Vive Chinon! Chinon Rive Gauche Cabernet Franc 2014

Ash, pepper, blackberries and raspberries. Medium-light body and good lift. Simple but focused, pure and super pleasing. If there was just a bit more mid palate depth this would be a stunner. As it is, and at $16, it's a tremendous value and beautiful Chinon. — 9 years ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2002

A phenomenal intensity even after 14 years. The structure may not be what it was in youth, but this evolves in the glass even still. Char, smoke, dark berries, ash, and a medley of attractive brett qualities. Wonderful length. — 9 years ago
