Clear pale/med. concentration of ruby hue fading very slightly at the rim. Aromas of bright raspberry and cherry, graphite minerality/lead pencil shaving, violet florals, bell pepper, bramble/twigs. Palate is remarkably similar to the nose, structured with moderate, round tannins and medium/medium (+) acid. Nice restrained, elegant Cab Franc. First Saumur-Champigny. Another solid effort from Cave de Vignerons de Saumur. — 10 years ago

Pink, perky, hazy unfined and unfiltered Pinot Noir. Strawberry and rhubarb compote, red berries, smoke and snapped twigs, lovely line and length. Refreshing and a joy to drink. — 11 years ago

Astonishingly good wine. Most guides tell you to pay more than £8 at least and that's wise, but this tipple was infinitely better than the Malbec reserve that set me back £9 from sainsbury. It's silky, deep, vanilla-cherry and unctuous. Can't see through the liquid, buy it by the case before the maker twigs. — 10 years ago

Earthy notes (twigs and tan bark) mix with beautiful florals and red currant notes. Palate is a combination of mid-palate juiciness and drying, sustained tannin. Beautiful stuff and will last for years. Need time and air. — 11 years ago

Big herbaceous nose at outset. Lots of alcohol in the nose but i know this vintage so let it breathe. Nose gives way to bramble patch and twigs. High alcohol nose betrays the first quaff which is smooth. Smooth leather and bramble berries with an ever so slight cigar note finish. Look-if you can get this for the price do it. Period. — 11 years ago

Fresh black cherry and blackberry on the nose, I was expecting a bit more earth aromatically. The terroir shows up on the palate with twigs and subtle hints of the soil. The finish is solid but not too tight for how young this wine is. I anticipate a very graceful expression will develop as fruit calms down and nuance creeps forward. Age this guy if you can. — 10 years ago

Real woody. Not too bitter, not too sweet. Tastes like twigs and branches in the best way possible. — 11 years ago
