A brilliant bottle of Cabernet Franc that simply blew my mind
Domaine de Nerleux 2018 Les Loups Noirs
... WRITTEN REVIEW ...
Vines planted back in 1997, 70% of the wine spends 18 months in oak, 10% new, the other 30% remains in stainless steel and is then back-blended into the wine to create a fruitier character; the result is a wine of wonderful depth and character: dark berry fruit, nicely spiced with hints of vanilla. The dark fruit comes across as cassis and blackberry – this wine just sings in the mouth. (**** ½)
