Any ideas? Have a guess and I’ll let you in on the secret tomorrow.

Clos Moleton 2010, AOC Saumur Champigny, Domaine de St Just
Clos Moleton 2010 is a Cabernet Franc wine that comes from a clay/limestone parcel. 2 years in oak barrels (varying from new to 2 wine) have given it a lovely complexity and spicy quality. The 10’s have lovely fresh acidity which makes them very attractive young but it’s clear that this wine is just going to get better and better over time.
