Raspberry, cassis, tapenade, herbs, wilted flowers, tobacco, graphite, potting soil, manure and animal hide, steel. Livid, deep, unwinding with aeration. Fresh tannin, melds soif and seriousness nicely. Finish drops out a touch

Great nose. Beautiful cassis and berry fruit. Some beautiful minerality. Amazingly layered and detailed. Superbly mineral and earthy and wonderful layered and deep aromas. Stunning, really. Juicy with crisp acids and so much fruit and a taut structure. Long finish that dissipates beautifully.

Quite muted this evening. Let’s see what day 2 brings. Day 2 update—not much. Maybe I was just way too early on this

Exactly what I want from Loire cab franc. Funky nose of dark fruits, veggies, earth, but t also a floral background. Palate is just courteous with insanely fresh flavors of plum, herbs, cherries, and typical pepper.
