The Chimère from Manfred Krankl of Sine Qua Non fame, and the Maurel brothers of Clos Saint Jean, is, appropriately, a beast. Cherry, blackcurrant, Christmas spice, violets and chocolate. Many elements combine to make a compelling wine that deserves attention over time. Indeed, when this bottle was initially opened, the prevailing thought at the table was that it would last months. A small tipple to check in, some time later, was tasted with our own resident chimera (well at least she sort of has the head of Lion element down) present. — 6 years ago

Beautiful finish, great complexity. — 4 years ago
This is a wine with a long finish. It is complex and heavy. Smooth tanins. It is not very fruitful but the caramel aftertaste really does the job. Needs decantation. This is another wine from Grosseto (Tuscany) worth the price. — 6 years ago
Deep ripe fruit with some chocolate and touch of vanilla — 6 years ago
This has got IT. The stuffing to become something really special with a bit more aging. There's almost a dark/bright fruit chimera here with a little smoke, olives, and garrigue. — 5 years ago
Minimum 10 Year Old whiskey in the blend. 172 bottles made. Hint of peat, hint of salinity. — 6 years ago

Can drinkers Pinot. One of the best I’ve had. Mucho overdeliver. — 9 months ago
