| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jerhardt on 4/27/2024: 17/18/19 side by side blind. My preference was in that order. 17 was the cleanest and comparatively elegant and red fruited. I got the 18/19 backwards as the latter was bigger, riper, and not so clean. Both freshened up after being open for a day and need lots of time. (663 views) | | | Tasted by bjresto on 4/9/2024 flawed bottle: Brett is distracting. Obviously really good juice on palate, but the Brett interferes with purity of fruit and cleanliness on nose. Really regrettable since there is such promise on palate and an incredible finish/texture to this wine, lively acid, tannic crunch, etc. Just can't get behind a wine with a dirty bouquet that comes off as smudgy and too much barnyard. Will seek out purer fruited expressions of Chinon that have the acid, crunch, fruit and tannins, without the dirty funk that goes over the top. (807 views) | | | Tasted by redwhiteandrich on 3/30/2024 & rated 92 points: What a beast. Lots of tannins but such freshness here... Boisee always needs the most time to come around it seems.
Day 2: still unrelenting... In a good way. (683 views) | | | Tasted by Max S. on 3/28/2024 & rated 92 points: Day 1: Will flesh out in time, expect this to be a much better bottle in 5-10. Raspberry and thin blackberry, pepper. 91 pts
Day 2: Bananas and blackberry. Blackberry has filled out a bit. 92 pts
Day 3: final day, really added some body all around. Still had some banana up front. Blackberry is showing nicely. Solid finish, good acid. 92 pts (710 views) | | | Tasted by Tgood on 2/1/2024: Grafstrb nailed it - I might would add my .02 on this bottle - I think/hope more of the underripe blackberry fruit can eventually escape the considerably tannic frame before the the floral peppery freshness declines too much - brett I am not appreciating in this bottle. Energetic wine - emblematic of the region’s sparkling tile in the oenomosaic. (1091 views) | | | Tasted by grafstrb on 8/31/2023: -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over a couple hours on Day 1; revisited on Day 2 --
NOSE: medium-light pyrazine; medium-light brett; wet stones / petrichor.
BODY: magenta-violet color of great depth; medium bodied.
TASTE: unfortunate medium to medium+ brett note; white pepper; purple-fruited; light, oaky, tannins; light stony mineral; medium-light pyrazine. I was initially worried the brett would be prove to be too strong, but it stayed at a level I can tolerate --- still, wish it was less. This strikes me as pretty good -- low-level excellent (for points, I'll call it 92ish) -- but it reminds more more of Guillot in this vintage, at least for now. Day 2: juicy acidity; has that wet stones mineral aspect that is somewhat evocative of Bordeaux. Drinkable now, but nothing here suggests this won't improve with age. (1674 views) | | | Tasted by WetRock on 7/30/2023: A wild ride. Initially this comes very strong with the funk. It really sticks too. The thing was that while it fades overnight, the fruit also closes up some. Some made it to night three because it wasn't all that fun to drink the previous nights. There I found some VA quite clearly on the nose. The fruit appears to be substantial and stout enough for aging, as one would expect. There was also a strong green quality to the tannin. It could be tightly wound pyrazines. Hopefully some rest lets all that stuff settle down and let the fruit shine some but given the evident ripeness I hope the fruit is up to the task. (1807 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 4/28/2023 & rated 95 points: Fragrant, floral nose with notes of cherries, dark fruit, blackberries, and cassis. Nice acidity with more dark fruit flavors, tart berries, earth, and dried flowers on the palate. Long finish. Great wine with nice complexity that is surprisingly approachable already. I would still hold this for another 5 or better 10 years at least, it will only improve. 94-95++ (2272 views) | | | Tasted by viniferatu on 3/8/2023: Needs time to open up, but this becomes pretty amazing on the nose. On the palate it is dense and tannic, and unrelenting. This should gain depth and finesse in time, but it'll always be on the dark and rich side of Loire Cab Franc.
Aromas of blackberry, creme de cassis, buddleia and lilac, autumn leaves, a little poblano, black pepper and nocino. Full-bodied, structured, quite tannic and tangy, but densely packed and very long on fresh tart black fruit flavors. This is raw and primary, but it has balance and extraordinary length, so I would tend to think it is many years away from maturity, and will be something really special one day... but kind of a brute now, so who knows... (2175 views) | | | Tasted by mtbarkley on 2/20/2022 & rated 91 points: Short decant, paired nicely with short ribs. Old leather on the nose, good acidity and dark red fruits. (2253 views) |
