Very Good++ While not as enthralled as I was with the previous bottle in Dec. 2022, this is still drinking very well. Typical with some aged character, but surprisingly still showing a fresh side. This bottle was bit muted. This is my last bottle. If I had more, I'd be tempted to lay one down for another 5-10 years just to see what happens. The cork was in great shape with about 5% seepage around the circumference with a few narrow sections up to about 20%.

Excellent. This is holding up well. It's nice, well-aged Chinon. That's it. A fine herbaceous and green thread through it. Some autumn leaves, leather, tossed moist earth, some plum? This was a very nice pairing with a risotto that included herbs and fennel, topped with a large, slow-roasted tomato.

Big leafy Chinon. Quite good.
