Community Tasting Note

• IJC Likes this wine:

  June 17, 2022 - In the opening years of it’s drinking window, vibrant fruit, with sufficient age to have softened the tannic edges. A dark and not quite brooding wine of solid character, deep red fruit and earth; based on the pleasure it gives now, I suspect it will be quite spectacular in years to come.
  
  Drunk at the same table where we opened a bottle of the 2017 vintage, a bit lighter, more forward; I preferred the 2018, more structured.
  
  Rated +1 on a scale of -1 to +3.

  6/19/22, 1:46 AM - I have read your previous comments to others explaining your rating system. Your analogy with Michelin stars makes sense, of course, but I do not see any other wine reviewers using it, whether here on CellarTracker or elsewhere. Have you publicized it via a letter or article in any of the specialist wine mags? Have you won over any disciples?
  
  (P.S., I, too, am a fan of des vins du Val de Loire in general and Bernard Baudry in particular.)
