Good but not terribly expressive tonight for some reason. Cherry cough syrup, raspberry, some woodsy, earth and herbal tones.

Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion into the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again.
Nose of cherry with crushed pits, light green herbs and distant barnyard. Palate is light, but has medium acidity, cherry/raspberry/black currant jam with citrus zest. Medium finish.

Palate has crushed cherries, orange peel, ripe black currant, blackberry, graphite and medium tannins. Long finish, amazing bottle this evening.
About two years since our last bottle, doing very, very well this evening, can hold another 6-12Y (2026-32) in proper storage.

I really should drink Chinon more often. Red fruits, perfumes, and floral. Drunk and enjoyed with breaded pork.

Awesome cab franc. Pencil shavings, earth, wild berry, clean/weighty palate and great acid. Loved it.
