It took a while to figured out what sort of big boy this wine was. Pristine and so young. Still bright and perfectly composed. Incredible for a wine made for the first time. Such a real “fuoriclasse”. — 13 days ago

Deep ruby color; black cherries, graphite, and raspberries on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like cherries, strawberry sauce, dried flowers, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I love it! — 5 hours ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2 after it brightened up. The 2008 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberry compote, coffee, Werther’s Chocolate, tobacco leaf, leather, teriyaki, demi-glace, and dry earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This is delicious and has to be one of the great values in Ribera del Duero. Drink now through 2032+. — 19 days ago

Immagine a piece of thread made of stony mineral of highest quality, hanging from the top of your heat till your tummy. This is surrounded by a beautiful creamy complexity typical of an old champagne of the highest quality. — 13 days ago

So,so bright, concentrated & clear. Fennel, endive, & rum soaked apples on nose ( tasted blind a friend thought Jura ); on palate more of those freshly cut vegetables with more apple and underripe pear notes. Intense. And so young. So many miles to go. I always never buy enough of Chidaine, to my regret. But drinking at any stage is so mesmerizing. Like a shooting star. — a month ago
