  Not a lot different from 5 months ago. The crunchy cranberries dominate the attack, but fresh raspberries make a shining appearance as well. Some soft sandalwood notes appear on the mid-palate. The finish is all that fruit with anise. Nothing wrong with drinking or holding. As with the last bottle a filmy cloud of sediment coats the neck, shoulder and side of the bottle. 12.5% alc. With homemade pizzas (Canadian bacon & mushroom, pepperoni with onion). 02.04.24. Recommended.

  PNP. Initial attack of brett and cranberry, leaps from the glass. Decided to decant a portion of the wine to see what emerges. Some of the animal funk subsides revealing complexity. Cranberry, asian pear, mushroom, forest floor, sandalwood/cedar, dried flowers, pickling/medicinal spice. Palate confirms aromas. Med+ acidity, well integrated alcohol (a joy to drink a wine like this at 12.5%) and tannins, very soft and pleasing texture. Fantastic with grilled steak and shaved truffles. Part of me really loves this wine, another part is having a hard time with brett and animal aromas as I get older.

  Off the beaten track: So much darker and more masculine than the Guion tasted next to it, more fruit, more extract, more tannins, more of everything, and I mean that in a positive way. Tobacco, barnyard, leather, dark, ripe fruit, bell pepper, a real character wine. Despite the tannic bite this is drinking well but will hold maybe forever. Amazing showing of this wine. 18+/20

  This is what I hoped for from Buadry - earthy and funky Chinon! Yes!

  Excellent. Drank well on PnP, so it's already 'ready', but really got better with air. So decant near term. I've only got one more of these and figure to hold another 4-7 years on that one.
