That's great content! You know I think you are the right person to do these deep dives in the "aging curve" of a wine. One time I heard the owner from a winery in Barolo comparing the evolution of her wines to the evolution of a human being, and I loved to see you go basically to the same place and say this wine is building up its "tannic muscles" - getting to its prime, if you will. I hope you do more of those in the future. I think that was truly enlightening.
Hi Diego - I appreciate your kind words an I'm glad you liked the video. Now that I've got a bit of an archive of videos, I think I agree with you that there is merit in me starting to check in on some wines if I've got the extra bottles. So I will absolutely start to do this. Thank you, as always, for your kind feedback and support! ☺❤
As always, great tasting notes. Interesting to have your insights on one of the « go to » Cab Franc that I always have in my cellar. The black tea notes on the Croix Boissée is also something that I sensed a lot across the different vintages.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'm so glad you appreciated my notes. Funny, I don't think I've noted the black tea element in La Croix Boissée prior to this, but perhaps I spent a bit more time with this bottle than with others. I'll be on the hunt for that with my next encounter. Many thanks as always for watching and for your support! ❤🙏
You always have the best posts. Stuff for the geeks like me, stuff for the history lovers and of course your passion when tasting. Makes me want to run out and get more. Cheers.
Well, you had me at “kirsch”! I have one last lonely bottle of Baudry’s Croix Boisée (2005) and I think I’ll open and enjoy it while rewatching the tasting portion of your excellent video!😊
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment! If you only have ONE remaining bottle of 2005 La Croix Boissée might I be so bold as to say HOLD this a while longer. I've had a slew of 05 Loire Cabernet Francs in the last 12 months and they are still babies. Across all appellations and producers, I haven't encountered any that I would deem as ready. If you can be patient, give this a bit more time and perhaps enjoy another bottle of Baudry Chinon while re-watching the video. ☺
@@michaelfarrell7161 Michael, don't hate me. Hold the 2010s too. 2005 and 2010 are siblings, and need a little time. I'm loving the 2009s and 2008s at the moment. I've also had some lovely 04s and 14s. While the 14s are still young, they appear to be expressing themselves nicely at the moment. I tasted an 03 Grand Mont from Domaine du Bel Air in the Loire and it was singing. ☺
@@cabfrancchronicles Lol, hate you? Nah, I know your aim is true.😉 2009s you say? I found bottles of Hureau 2009 Lisagathe and Les Fevettes. They are now in the “on deck circle”. Thanks for sharing your cab franc experience and knowledge!
@@michaelfarrell7161 Yup, 2009s! I think they are showing really well at the moment. I tasted the 2009 Château Yvonne and 2009 Grand Mont from Domaine du Bel Air in the Loire this past trip and they were magical. Lucky you to have a couple 09 Hureau! Would love to hear your thoughts on those whenever you get around to opening them. Merci, as always, for your kind support! ☺

@@cabfrancchronicles Thank you for your kind and sage advice! I will hold the Croix for a few more years. Maybe a bottle of 2010 Guillot instead?
