Super interesting. Huge wine, deep dark nose, touch maybe octanoic acid, touch brett, it’s more Bordeaux than anything else, def not a typical Loire. Very nice.

Hey this is pretty great stuff. Deep magenta in color, inky. Blackberries and plum, with a bit of funky balsamic on the nose. Either natural or very low intervention. Also getting mint and smoky tobacco. Nice tannins, long finish. Really really interesting.

Sweeter than a Cot has any right to be, and unidimensional. OK for a weekday when you're not feeling all that particular, I guess. Won't buy it again though.

Not overly complex but what a good wine. Nice nose on it, fruity pallet. Just a little alcohol but nothing that bothers. Great one!

Nog steeds een mooie paarse kleur, volle geur van zwart fruit met mooie kruidigheid. Niet extreem complex maar dit mag je toch ook geen simpel wijntje noemen. Mooie volle fruitigheid en licht uitdrogende finale maar al bij al een mooie en vooral lekkere wijn.

Light, green-tasting, fragrant. Decent, but thin.

Quite soft, fruity, with a hint of bitter Loire earthiness. Pleasant but simple.

Construit sur une importante acidité, pas tellement sur les tannins.
