98 upon initial first hour of tasting the wine. 96 if u drink few hours later after it being opened. This wine is spectacular. An extremely long finish first hours. Later that night finish not as strong or as long. What a beautiful wine. Oh my goodness

W/ KFan and Horn BBQ. Aromatic. Medium body. 14.5% alcohol but holds it well. Slight stewed bell peppers and coffee. Blueberry. Lovely. Medium plus body, medium minus melted tannins, medium plus acid - had a nice balance - effortless and well integrated. Super nice wine overall with lots of aromatic intrigue. Shades of Napa cab (fruit, sun, oak) interleaved with shades of Chinon (some tertiary aromas and some ripe pyrazines that remind me of beautiful aged Olga Raffault and the first Loire cab franc I ever had: the ‘96 Taluau.

Decanted for 1 hour. Initially an earthy, slightly barnyard nose. Palate- medium + acidity. Medium tannins. Long finish. Exceptionally refined

Decanted briefly. Still young with oak present initially. Delicious herbed fruit, well balanced if a bit reticent.
