  April 23, 2024 - Too much brett in this bottle for me. Perhaps due to the very warm vintage?

  April 17, 2024 - Contrairement à la bouteille précédente, aucune arôme d'écurie, un fruit tout à fait vibrant et une touche de cuir et de fines herbes.
  Délicieux

  March 4, 2024 - So, yes, this is ripe by the standards of Chinon, even lush: velvety red and black fruit without, in this bottle, any real suggestion of greenness. But what keeps it from sliding into sweet anonymity is that it has a spine of acidity and a bit of fine tannin on the finish that gives it surprising brightness and lift, given the flavor profile: it’s like watching an airliner take off [edited: a small airliner; a regional jet, not a 747] and wondering how something that big can go up rather than down. This should age gracefully, but the only reason not to drink it now is that there’s no sign yet of anything tertiary: if you don’t mind that, it’s in excellent form. Wish I had a bunch more.

  January 22, 2024 - Bu avec magret de canard sauce demi glace, balsamique, miel de sarasin et bleuet. Accord parfait. Excellent vin qui a encore beaucoup de vie. A revisiter dans 2 ans.

  December 23, 2023 - Cork looked cooked (seeping) but goodness me this was very impressive.. Sleek and lithe with an aniseed edge to balance the sweet but pure fruit. Delightful.
