If a wine can be honest (& a farmers wine to boot), this is it. Even threw off a bit of sediment for such a youngin'. Much much better the 2nd day. Doesnt have the acidic snap that some of my fave Bourgueils do, but Im rootin for it

2009. Nice fruit. Bit of funk. Bit of veg. Juicy. Fresh. Good stuff.
