Keeping fresh, but brett dominates the nose, coffee, pencil lead, black berries, good freshness.

Très jeune. Tanins très présents et un brin asséchants. Arômes typiques de cabernet franc. Droit pour un 2009. Belle longueur. Profil long. À mon avis le vv de Alliet 2009 est, en ce moment, supérieur et 8$ moins cher. Laissons passer les années... Sûrement une énorme bouteille dans 5 ans. Donne déjà une grande leçon à bien des bordeaux

Cabernet Franc. A little Brettanomyces, but I liked it.

Classic cab franc, just love it
Graphite and bell pepper on the nose, blueberry in the mouth
Tannins have rounded out, but enough remaining for any of you lucky souls having more of this in the cellar to hold out for another year or two

Soy / turkey burger / caramelized shallot / pine / a little heavy on the nose, but really finessed on the palate

Young, vibrant, and outstanding. This wine has soooo many more years left to go. Glad I have a few more.
