  Red center, pale red rim with signs of age.
  Herbal, classic Loire Cabernet Sauvignon, green pepper, dried leaves.
  Smooth, subtle red fruits, good minerality, some late, strong acidity well integrated with the fruit and a touch of sweetness, great leafy finish.
  Excellent mature Bourgueil. Drinking very well at 28 years of age.

  Aged and drinking not bad. Mineralogy, forest floor and fruit is still there.

  No good. Thin body with nothing to speak of on the nose. Astringent & bitter on finish. This wine is gone.

  Muted nose, can't get much of anything from it. Light body throughout. Green vegetal characteristic on finish, a bit stringent.
