Presented to me double-blind. The wine pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with significant staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, Poblano pepper, horse blanket, purple flowers, tobacco, herbs and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+.

Initial conclusions: this could be a Cabernet Sauvignon (or based blend), Cabernet Franc (or based blend), Merlot (or based blend), Carmenere or Malbec from France, Italy, Chile, Argentina and I guess the USA but unlikely due to the style. This was a tough one for me. I considered the Loire (Chinon) as a possibility but I stead, went with my gut. Final conclusion: this is a Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from France, Bordeaux, Haut Medoc, Cru Bourgoise from 2017. Ooof…Bourgueil! I get it. I’m also liking this producer the more I try them. Drink now through 2032. — 14 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2021 “Dionysos” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, violets, horse blanket, poblano pepper, graphite and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Fresh, funky, delicious Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2031. — 3 months ago
