Always a favorite producer. Earthy red fruits, white pepper, sous bois.

Sigh...yes guilty of opening this to soon! I do wish I had started buying wines to age years ago!
No doubt this Cabernet Franc will be singing down the road! Although ..now it is really nice and has red berries..wet rock..graphite.. vegetal nuances and Cotton Candy!
I have another 2015 Loire CF...going to hold that one longer!

Lovely. Purple fruits, floral, earthy. Natural producer but not overly funky.

Bold on the nose, unlike their other 15s, with huge peppery wild fruit and vegetal notes. Fruit is heavy weighted here, lots of spiciness follows, with a remarkable earthy backbone. Good, maybe needs some time.
