Completely unexpected. Tastes like a cross between Vernier and Villemade. Carbonic was less evident than typical Loire. A wind that also lets one understand the use of concrete too. Drank with fantastic dinner at Thistle in McMiniville. — 11 years ago
Medium high intensity of garnet & a dense purple core. Medium & slightly aged aromas of dried brambly red fruit. Nice musty/earthy notes that give way to dried thistle & cherry flavors on the palate with a slate, pepper & mineral finish all wrapped in warm, well balanced oak. Medium tannins & moderately high alcohol length & finish is medium. A great bargain at $19. — 11 years ago
