Opened a great wine at the wrong time. Clocking at 35yo, like a wise grandpa it has wisdom to share but only talks when it’s quiet. Right after opening it has a mix of ripe, evolved pyrazines but with an hour or so the black olives are there in your face like in cote rotie, with a touch of their brine but without the VA you would expect. dried black fruit makes an appearance, even a medium bodied texture (!!!) which already isn’t Chinon’s strength and fine tannins still with some good grip, leading to a bright lingering acidity. Of course it can’t stay too long in the glass as the age shows some fragility. Still, it delivers — 2 years ago

As a child I was lucky enough to stay at this Chateau thanks to my Grandpa. I really like this wine, I read the comments and I don't know much about wine, but I can totally taste the hint of berry :) — 9 years ago

I can’t lie, the name on the label drew me in 😂. I had no idea what I was getting into but the shop owner told me a few tidbits: from Sicily, quite like the wine his grandpa used to make; drier and mineral. Quite unique flavor that as it continues to open is really growing on me. I’m totally biased but am really enjoying this vino! — 3 years ago

1986 discovered deep in Grandpa Wink’s cabin. Still had its bubbles & a rich, buttery flavor. It was a very merry Christmas with the Headtkes + Wattanasirakuls. — 5 years ago
