  Very good, rich but balanced and full of excellent Cab Franc character. Will hold for another decade.

  Needs about 20 minutes of air to open up but once it does, it's pretty much a textbook high quality Chinon, with juicy, cruncy blackberry fruit over a background of tobacco and bell peppers leading to a succulent acidic finish. Just the barest, tiniest hint of bretty funk which mostly adds complexity instead of being a flavor in and by itself. Some surprisingly robust tannins indicate that this is quite early in its window. Despite that, it's very generous and quite enjoyable right now. Drink or hold, no hurry with this one.

  OMG so acidic. Nice light/med body red, bright fruit, virtually no tannin. But borderline sour it's so acidic. Good with a very acidic tomato dish. Chicken cacciatore worked well.

  In-line with prior bottles in 2020 and 2021. Drinking nicely now, so no need to continue holding if you don't want to.
