Chihuahua Old Vine Carignan 2008

9.4

This is a co-project of Chris Ringland called "Chihuahua." I can't begin to tell you how good this tasting was at Chris's house today. I'm sure my words will fall short. All of his wines today open & roll your eyes, raise your whole body language and make you feel like you just had a full body massage. This wine was so smooth, so elegant! Everything in harmony; structure, balance, length and balance. Warm; plums, blueberries, rhubarb, dark cherries, dark cherries, dates, figs, prunes, fresh & dry florals, soft warm spice in waves of layers, black tea and just the right amount of pepper with magnificent acid and finish. 4 years in wood. — 9 years ago

I had the same response when I saw it. However, it never felt that hot. Chris hides it well through his vindication methods.

degustiamo lo champagne più venduto al mondo ma questa volta da un formato Magnum. Solita bollicina finissima , al naso lievito ma solo inizialmente , poi pera.. Fiori bianchi e gialli .. Crosta di pane , Brioche .. Sorso pieno , bocca cremosa , si fa masticare e invita al sorso successivo . Persistente . — 10 years ago
