2012. Terrific. Not rating on delectable anymore since it's now number specific.

Love it nice minerality - less acidic than other Loire ones we've had. Excellent buy again.

Pure ruby, brilliant with medium transparency; red-to-blackcurrants, inherent bell pepper, stones, biscuit, a touch of licorice and volatile funk, quite kaleidoscopic; medium body, good volume, structure and acidity, a bit rustic at the end, but great value. 12,8% '12 vintage.
