2011 Clau De Nell Anjou Cabernet Franc - France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Anjou (11/6/2015)
Rather dense for Loire Cabernet Franc, this combines that palate heft with incongruous green/herbacious elements. Tobacco dominates the aromatics, and there is a bitter edge on the palate that further suggests green and/or a heavy handed extraction of material that was not up to the task. Not much fun, and really a disappointment from Anne Claude Leflaive, as I would have expected something much more refined.
