Vintage 2015 | the wine is entering its tertiary phase, no more fruits, but cacao cedar leather, I like this a lot. Refined Cabernet franc taste. Paired with risotto funghi and then lamb chops with salad. — 2 months ago

Really good Chinon. This has a richness to it that you don’t find in many Chinon’s. Not too big and really smooth. Great food wine! — 4 months ago

Pepper, tequila, cherry, and Tiva said, “An old suede chair, under a porch while it’s raining yet bright outside” with a smoky undercurrent this was a lovely wine.  — 2 years ago

Needs a couple of days open for the brett-stink to settle down. Afterwards, it’s raspberry, wrapper leaf and an appropriate and savory Cab Franc stemminess. This may be something special in a few years. — 5 years ago

Quite darn tasty. Snappy acidity and fleshy make it go bye bye quickly. — 2 months ago

Gave this a week to come around, it sort of did, but was hopeful for a more engaging experience than we received. — 4 months ago

Might be time to drink up. I feel like the fruit is thinner than a few years ago, and being a pretty light bodied wine, there is just not much else left in the bottle. — 5 months ago

This 2029 is pure and focused. Cherry and red apple skins with a graphite core. Bright acidity with a cooling dark stone finish. Beautiful. — 8 months ago

Medium plus purple in color; strawberries, black cherries, and cola on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, raspberries, crushed gravel, and a hint of bell pepper with a long finish. I love this wine. Nellie likes it. We both think it paired really well with seared tuna. — 2 months ago

30+ minute decant. Dark red color. French terroir, bell pepper, and green elements on the nose. Wine has close to zero fruit, but an abundance of spice and vegetable flavors. Medium finish. Awesome QPR. — 4 years ago
