Just entering its drinking window. Integrated tannins, slight rim gradation. Soulful. Aromatics lovely. Everything classic & à point.

Reliable always. Vegetal, some black olives, light tannic black fruits.

I perhaps should have waited on this one, but still delicious nonetheless. Very musty, but not as harsh to the sip as the first whiff. Cherry!

Earthy leather aromas. Plums and hint of black olives. Love this.

Classic chinon potroast on the nose followed by violet, tart plums and a hint of Graham crackers.
