July 10, 2013 - This is yet another winner from Chidaine, and I have not found any losers. Even so, this is particularly special, even for him. Loads of chalky mineral on the nose, along with some telltale wet wool, steely and gravelly mineral, lemon, ripe apples and pears, all kinds of interesting spice notes (ginger, dried sage), a bit of dusty earth, I could go on and on. There is tremendous complexity here, plenty of acidic lift (high acid), and the wine is basically dry. This is truly one of the best values out there: under $30 and outstanding.
