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.

A well respected Chinon! Red raspberries, bell pepper, violets, wet soil, cherry Lifesavers and tea leaves. Nice balance, fruit somewhat muddled..will improve with time!
Blustery cold snap in IA.

So much of what I’m always looking for. Well balanced, smooth, dry, great tannin level. Cab Franc just might be my favorite and the Bernard Baudry haven’t disappointed

Dry. Earthy. Leather. Some dark cherry / blackberry and baking spices. Pretty tight! It needed to breath.
