Ruby red color with aromas of berry fruits, herb and floral spice, from 30-year old vines. On the palate flavors of red berry fruits, herbs and pepper spice, vivid acidity, fine tight tannins with medium finish ending with earthy spice. Drink now.

Vintage 2019 | Solid Chinon with good structure | paired with tagliatelle deer stew and shi take mushrooms.

Mushrooms, red hots, and cherry chapstick might not sound like a great combination… but I liked it! (Just like a Katy Perry song).

Manure and violets and perfumed red fruit. Not a lot of concentration, drink now.

On the verge of a Bret bomb. But.... the wine is there. Cherry syrup, pencil shavings, earth, iodine, hay, chalky minerality and nice acid.
