Tasty chinon. Peppercorn, dark fruit, that pipe that has been in your grandpa's cardigan pocket for years. Classy. 2011

Tight with firm tannins. Benefits from decanting or second day drinking. Would love to try this in 10 years as I think it will be amazing.

The most extracted and hottest chinon ive had. 15%abv, and its well integrated after it opens up a bit. The 05s are supposedly very ageworthy, the acid, tannins and extraction make me a believer in that. Glad a got a few. The nose is deep rich jammy black cherry and currants. Overwhelming dark chocolate and green bell pepper. The end of the nose is all tobacco and coffee. The palate is acidic and grippy. Bruised/overripe black plum and some tart black raspberries on the palate with a chocolate and herbaceous mid palate with a maple like finish. Very classic seeming and at a bargain. Thanks delectable!

Nov 21st, 2017Excellent. Structured and balanced yet lively. Slight hint of pepper and tannin followed by a trace of jam.
