  Compelling nose - bell pepper, jalapenos, stems, jam. The fruit is fading here and I worry it will fall out soon. Tannins are dusty and the structure still solid.

  Cherries in the bouquet, On the palate juicy and mild cherries and red berries, a bit herbaceous, good acidity and a touch of sweetness. Maturity stage now and no hurry at all.

  Soft and in a good spot, kind of like Right Bank Bordeaux meets Burgundy mixed in with poblano, ash and a variety of herbs, silky texture with umami mid palate, probably not the best vintage of this wine but good complexity and very good.

  svelte and round, this Chinon is elegant and refined. Crunchy tannins, dark florals, blackberries and prune. Minerality, slight graphite rounds it out. Drink best with an hour + of decant.
