5/20/2024 - ploher wrote: NR

A classic Baudry on the nose; blood, iron, barn, bell pepper, raspberries; there is nothing out there that smells quite like a Baudry, and this vintage offers great intensity of aromas. The palate is fresh, crunchy, still young with some tannins but approachable. Excellent development over hours getting fleshier and more substantial. Beautiful wine. 18/20

Nez sur les petits fruits rouges, végétal, herbes, des notes animales, jujubes.

Le vin est expressif, c'est frais, belle acidité, corps d'intensité légère à moyenne. Peut-être un peu serré à ce moment-ci.

Se boit toujours bien, tres bon des maintenant, mais va certainement se bonifier. Bien fruite, moyennement complexe et moyennement long. Mais pour le prix on ne peut rien lui reprocher. Fort agreable

Intriguing as always, and needing a couple hours to open up. Notes of bell pepper, leather, tart cherry, and hints of brett commingle throughout, with ample acidity moving things along. Puckery and savory, and a nice change of pace, if not a tad simple.

This was poured from a 750 to the brim of a spare 375 screw cap, and this note is from day 5.

On the nose explosive cab franc aromatics, charred poblano, Virginia tobacco, green olive, bit of Brett funk, bit of red fruit.

On the palate medium grained tannins, mouthwatering acid, medium finish. Somewhat odd combo of silky mouthfeel with tannins that leaned just a touch rustic. Crunchy red fruit and savory tones in line with the nose.

A very fine Loire red. On pop and pour this had more fruit and proportionally less savory characteristics.

Like every bottle from Chinon, and most CabFranc’s in general, this had some aromas of a recently abandoned outhouse in the Loire. That nastiness fades in time, and then it smells like a long abandoned outhouse in the Loire.

The wine itself tastes great! Chalky tannins and nice acidity temper the tobacco and bell peppers, and what shines through in the end is bright red fruits and a promise of even better things to come in a decade.

Part 2 Produttori del Barbaresco 2009 horizontal. Starter. Aired in bottle for 1 day already. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of earth, green capsicum and stem, dark herbs, blackberries, black cherries, dark violets. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of rustic earth, capsicum spices, green herbs, blackberries, black cherries, smoky tobacco. Long finish.
Very good quality. I am quite forgiving of green notes nowadays, and when not overly dominant, they add to the overall complexity character. Nice Cab Franc. Bernard Baudry always reliable.

Day 1: Coravin-ed at cellar temperature. Immediately classic aromas, beef stock, tobacco, pasture, cherry, violets, tons going on, true bottle bouquet. Mid-weigh with a linear profile, crunchy red fruit, tobacco and minerality. Clean, pure, direct profile. Medium plus acidity, furry tannins on the finish, mostly resolved. This will continue to age, though whether it will improve from its current plateau is a matter of personal preference.

Day 2: Popped cork to finish bottle. Less feral, black currant, mint and menthol are more forward now. Otherwise, consistent with its gravelly, earthy origins. Such a singular wine, not a 'vin de garde', yet age-worthy and archetypical in its expression.

Too much brett in this bottle for me. Perhaps due to the very warm vintage?

PnP. Very good showing, fully mature though still very much in its preferred window. Little to no sign of age on the medium ruby core. Soil, plum, the occasional barn note, some sage and forest, etc. Lovely medium/med+ body with exceptional balance and good+ persistence. A joy. Hard to believe I paid just $22 on release; way over-delivered that on that. Easily highly recommended

Notes rapides de mémoire, les conditions n'étaient pas top, mais le vin s'est remarquablement présenté, surtout très jeune et énergique, sans le côté plus rond que cette cuvée montre habituellement. Il en a encore pas mal sous la pédale, et vieillira harmonieusement. 90+

Similar to a year ago. Brett city at first, subsiding somewhat but not completely 4 hours in. Taut, crisp red fruits (redcurrant, pomegranate), tobacco, a hint of pyrazines, chalky fine tannins, and loamy soil. Some more sharp horsey brett before a crisp clean finish. Very classic chinon, no trace of heat.

Drinking beautifully with a bit of air. Relatively savory compared to, say, the preceding vintage, but lovely balance and, I’m inclined to say, finesse to the basic aromatic and flavor profile.

Perfect drinking window right now. This still has a bit of tannins on the finish but nothing obtrusive. Very elegant style, with nice ripeness, broad cherry and raspberry fruit and very little green pepper at all. Smoky notes. Nicely balanced. This will hold here for awhile but I can’t see a reason to wait longer if you have a few bottles.
This has a lot of sediment!

This wine rests pretty in the glass with it burgundy translucence extending from rim to core. Distinct but somewhat muted notes of cranberry and raspberry lift from the glass along with some mushroom earthiness. Some sandalwood and cinnamon appear as the wine opens. All the same on the palate and continuing through the finish. The dominate note is the crunchy cranberry flavor. A solid wine but not delivering as much as I would have expected from this vintage. A shadowy streak of sediment runs along the side of the bottle. 13% alc. With assorted blue cheeses, Appalachian cheese and crusty bread. 03.15.24. Recommended.

This pours medium to light ruby in the glass with no bricking. The nose is lovely and classical featuring crushed gravel, dark cherry, black currant, charcoal, burlap, peanut shells, bay leaf, lovely potpourri, and a touch of apple VA in the upper register. The palate is bright and fresh with black currant on entry, tannin is velvety and medium minus, with medium plus acid. The finish is quite modest in length, but shows a pleasant profile. All in all this is excellent and has clearly improved since release. Another Baudry classic that I think has plenty of life ahead.

While the core color has been and remains to be cranberry, age is creeping in with maroon being the color of the rim. The cranberry theme carries over to the bouquet and through the palate where the fruit is almost crunchy. Notes of cinnamon, saddle leather and a bit of sandalwood waft from the glass, and with every sip, glide across the palate. The tannins are fully resolved and the finish has sufficient length, but the fruit is fading and the wine is not as focused. But it still delivers pleasure. A few years back, I mused on the possibility of setting aside some bottles for 10 years. That was misguided and I’m glade not to have followed my own advice. Time to drink up. Some sediment, but not a lot. Decanted. 13% alc. With mushroom pot pie (or tart). 03.08.24. Recommended.

Super beau cab franc sur le fruit, poivron rouge, pas de verdure desagreable juste du beau fruit rouge. On sent un peu d’évolution mais le vin est porté par le fruit. Dans une tres belle phase actuellement.

Really great. Pulled the cork and tasted at 5, let sit til drinking at 7. Beautiful nose showing very floral and also with dark fruit, gravel, and hints of cocoa. Day two even more harmonious but less pungent. So well balanced on the palate, perfect harmony of fruit, structure, and mineral elements and it’s just lip smacking delicious. Great now with a little air but lots of life ahead. Should have bought more….

This needs time, presumably, but wanted to check in on it. Double decanted and followed over several nights.
Lots of animalistic funk that took quite a while to blow off (this producer always has those funky notes at first in my experience).
Some nice green pepper notes, quite a bit of yeastiness, some natural wine funk. I don't get the high scores on this wine, but hopefully with some more time in the cellar it will blossom into the beauty which tasters are raving about. I actually prefer their more entry level "Granges" bottling honestly.

Lots of blackberry and dark cherry fruit. The wine is very generous and more typical of Chinon in this vintage and not as rich as 2017, 2018 and 2019 (but that is not a complaint, just an observation). It is also very savory, earthy, with silky tannins (no new oak is used), smooth and delicious. I like these wines also for the lower alcohol levels: this one is at 12%. I am sure it will age nicely for the next ten years or so.

Delicious and not showing any sign of shutting down. Full bodied, with bright, palet cleansing acidity - just a little bit of funk (brett) on the nose, with just ripe / pleasantly sour blue (& a hint of red) fruit, violets, woodsmoke, autumnal forest, and that very Chinon twist of graphite / lead pencil and tobacco leaf. This is just a puppy, and will be stunning in 10 -15 years...sadly my last bottle. Wish I'd backed up the truck when this was easily available for sub £20.
