Pretty funky upon opening. Horsey like a Raffault. But there is a sense of big cherry fruit lurking. Very floral as well. Some combo there of fresh flowers and horseshit. After 30-45 minutes the shit is gone and it’s all violets, earth and cherries. Awesome. Morel is magic. Palate is deep, raw like only Morel can be, with terrific freshness and acidity and a lovely rusticity. St Aubin Rouge are not the most elegant Burgundies but they have so much more than elegance. This wine is long. Really long. It’s a crazy wine that I think with 3-4 more years will really show well. This is like a young version of the 08. — 7 years ago

Berg had the choice between this and 1990 Raffault Picasses. He chose this and it showed classic Sangiovese character and richness without weight. — 7 years ago

I really, really am enchanted; nervy tension, luscious fruit, give it 15 minutes as starts out disjointed . Not bretty or funkified in the Raffault mold. High toned but enough of a growl to make it much more than a table wine. Johnnes selection, unsurprisingly. — 7 years ago

Funny, when I first drank this my notes were a ‘meh’ kind of experience- just too shallow, the freshness & acidity there, nicely formed, slightly underripe blackberries, but it’s stuck in 2nd gear. After forgetting to get my notes down, I had a previously un recalled memory: the bottle really needs more time. I want to say it’s like a Raffault Chinon in its ‘dumb’ phase. — 5 years ago

Typical for chinon and simply lovely. Sloe, blackcurrant, blueberry, leafy/minty herbality, wood shavings and green bell pepper. Slightly youthful still. — 6 years ago

Спелая вишня, черника, чёрная смородина с плодоножками, горький шоколад, карандашная стружка, намёк на графит. Среднетелое, с мелкозернистыми танинами и высокой кислотностью. В послевкусии тёмные и красные ягоды со взбитыми сливками. Пока что не до конца интегрирований дуб; хороший потенциал. 16,5+/20 — 7 years ago

@Delectable Wine This is A 2014 Seven and Baby Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from Teutonic Wine Company.

Very limited production from Barnaby and Olga at #Teutonic. I can't find much written about it, but I know the fruit is from the Laurel vineyard and I think this was an effort at extraction in Teutonic's high and dry style. Blooming aromas of hibiscus, violet, red licorice and cherry-cola aromas. Vibrant flavors, almost like Beaujolais, with pomegranate, sour cherry and tart raspberries coming to the front. Pleasant grip and lingering zippy finish. Really 👍🏽. — 7 years ago

Magnum and all I can say is that between this and the Raffault bottles I've tried is that Chinon can age and develop as well as anything out there. Absolutely brilliant expression of Cabernet Franc. — 7 years ago
