Really interesting wine. Dirt, bark, some fruit.

an approachable Chinon, ripe bing cherry, mineral stoney undertones, medium weight, medium acid, dusty tannins. Not as astringent as I expect Chinon to be making it glass-pourable.

Drink it now, the 2007 was full of black licorice and savory spices.

Dried cherry, cranberry, herbal, some nutmeg. Comparable to a Chianti. Alcohol shows a little, but a light chill helps. Good on a dreary evening. Better on the second day.

Pleasant Tuesday wine. Ripe red, almost black fruit. Nicely balanced acid and tannin that agrees with many foods.
