Dinner at 90 Miles (Chicago, IL): Still drinks quite young, and I think another half decade wouldn't do much harm to this wine. Very lovely perfumed aromatics, with mature pyrazine notes that don't overwhelm. The fruit feels well-balanced as well. Nice depth that feels almost Bordelais.

Nice mellow/drying red fruit throughout but this is really about the earthy, herbal aromatic tones. Very pretty. Notable structure still here; has a few years to go.

In a really pretty place. Served cool powdery tannins fresh acidity and just enough savory herbaceousness. Cracking with rare grilled bluefin tuna over piperade. Good length and fine lift. Yum.

A la couleur, il ne fait pas son age, le vin est limpide, un rubis assez clair un bord grenat. Le nez exprime une belle pureté qui oriente directement sur le CF ligérien, frais, végétal (poivron mûr) et fruité (fraise). Un nez élégant, délicat, peu à peu épicé, poudré, plus féminin à l'aération (une pointe de rose). En bouche il parait svelte, mais il y a du matos, les tanins fins restent serrés, supplées par une minéralité saline et crayeuse structurante. Surtout, j’aime beaucoup la pureté de l'ensemble. Il a qq chose de Chinon (une certaine fraicheur due au millésime?) avec la finesse de Saumur-Champigny ! 91/92

Pretty combination of sous-bois and brambly fruit. Cool-toned with structure mostly resolved. Really pretty and satisfying. Wish I had more.
