All the textbook Chinon notes of red currant, bell pepper, fresh earth, orange rind maybe. Right on.

More consistent over 24 hours than the roller coaster 2016 version. Less opulent fruit but good mineral length.

Loved this. Great personality. A bit of an extrovert for cab Franc. Red hots and charred cherry. Not what I would think of as typical... but in a good way.

Not the most complete vintage for this wine, but it still hits the right notes. Rustic, red fruited, savory, herbal and underpinned throughout by a deep earthiness. A great value.

I drink a lot of more complex, heady wines, but I'd be hard pressed to pick a wine that I rather drink every damn day. And the'10 is in a great place right now.
