Ruby red, near opaque. Slightly Bretty funk on opening but this dissipates to reveal herbal notes, blackberry, raspberry, green capsicum, earthiness, charcuterie and drip filter coffee. Bright acid, lean, red fruit dominated, slightly underripe, Italian bitters. Slightly grippy tannins. Good persistence, moderate complexity. Needs more time in bottle. Would I buy another bottle? Yes, to see how it evolves.

Excellent, clean cut Chinon, earthy vegetable, pepper and raspberry in the nose, focused with cool flavors of herbs, iron, blackberry and cherry, tastes and feels purple with vigor and balance, very nice

Iron, tomato leaf, bell pepper.
Not as good as 2018.

A bit of brett that blew off. High acid, with nice black cherry fruit. Needs some time.

Oh my. Pencil, graphite, red cherry, selyx. Deep, wild, and tempting. The finish is long, body medium plus. Amazing wine.
