  17/18/19 side by side blind. My preference was in that order. 17 was the cleanest and comparatively elegant and red fruited. I got the 18/19 backwards as the latter was bigger, riper, and not so clean. Both freshened up after being open for a day and need lots of time.

  Brett is distracting. Obviously really good juice on palate, but the Brett interferes with purity of fruit and cleanliness on nose. Really regrettable since there is such promise on palate and an incredible finish/texture to this wine, lively acid, tannic crunch, etc. Just can't get behind a wine with a dirty bouquet that comes off as smudgy and too much barnyard. Will seek out purer fruited expressions of Chinon that have the acid, crunch, fruit and tannins, without the dirty funk that goes over the top.

  What a beast. Lots of tannins but such freshness here... Boisee always needs the most time to come around it seems.
  
  Day 2: still unrelenting... In a good way.

  Day 1: Will flesh out in time, expect this to be a much better bottle in 5-10. Raspberry and thin blackberry, pepper. 91 pts
  
  Day 2: Bananas and blackberry. Blackberry has filled out a bit. 92 pts
  
  Day 3: final day, really added some body all around. Still had some banana up front. Blackberry is showing nicely. Solid finish, good acid. 92 pts

  Grafstrb nailed it - I might would add my .02 on this bottle - I think/hope more of the underripe blackberry fruit can eventually escape the considerably tannic frame before the the floral peppery freshness declines too much - brett I am not appreciating in this bottle. Energetic wine - emblematic of the region’s sparkling tile in the oenomosaic.
