Impromptu Loire Gathering, a Few Doods (Paradise Garden, AdMo): Opaque purple. Nose explodes with cool dark fruit and rocks. Palate also has dark fruit, lots of mineral and structure, very deep and chewy at this point and plenty of freshness to balance. Could use a bit of time to mellow but wonderful now.

Chenin and Cab Franc: Compared to the younger rive gauche, this was a little greener/bell pepper up front, and then turned the corner into fruit and hints of florals. Vibrant cherry and strawberry, maybe a hint of raspberry, and more tannic structure to hold everything together.

Chenin and Cab Franc (Adams Morgan): Pronounced nose of black cherries and cedar. On the palate medium acidity full body, high tannin. Young, very good now, likely to improve further.
