2014 - closed aromas but with sneaky floral and bees wax scents.. Tight flavor and a little unruly right now. Possibly the most massive Chinon Blanc I've ever had - going to try to lose a couple bottle in the cellar.

16/20 (88/100) Немного джемовый аромат чёрных ягод и шоколада. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными танинами. Дуб доминирует во вкусе и аромате, создавая ощущение дисбаланса.

Elegant with some barnyard funk. Plums and cherries.

Superbly satisfying. Cabernet Franc, elevated and “extracted,” at least in the way I define that term.

Lots of fruit extraction. Brambly notes with just a hint of herbs. Bright and well constructed. Balanced acidity. Easy drinker and especially great with food.

One of the great red wines of the Loire in my book. Evolved throughout the evening
