Vintage 2017 | Well balanced. Serious. Spicyness. Textbook Cab Franc and still so much different from the Bourgueil we drank yesterday. Minerals. Paired with Cantonese beef and mango.

Decant this bad boy for at least a half hour, give it a big swirl and you’ll get a wine that has an earthy backdrop that lays down in your mouth and plants delicate tannin roots and sprouts blackberries and purple flowers and maybe a red rose. When I finish this bottle, mayhaps I’ll put a rose in it too.

Red fruits and barnyard on the nose with velvety smooth fruits, green, and black pepper on the pallet. Opened up nicely.

A bit surprised given the general acclaim for Baudry (and my general appreciation for Chinon), but I didn’t love this. Nice deep purple in the glass. Incredibly herbal on the nose, almost deeply medicinal. Palate is a smidge disjointed, even with a lot of air. Medium finish but quite lacking in acid. Definitely interesting but not my favorite.
