  August 24, 2008 - Pig Roast (Solace): Poured next to the franc de pied version, and today this is the more interesting wine, albeit also more rugged owing to its thick tannin. It opens with a meaty, peppery scent that eventually segues to some of the candied fruitiness on the franc de pied. The peppery kick and taut acidity are what make the wine work today, and it's a great example of what's best about 2004 Chinon, tightly structured and not diluted or washed out like some. Vastly improved since two years ago.
