Gorgeous and evocative. Tobacco, violets, roses, tart cherry, and so much Earth.

Wish I hadn't rated all those other dumb wines so high

Beautifully-aged Cab Franc. By far the best of 3 bottles I've opened recently. Bone dry, chalky, mineral goodness.

There's wet, musty paper along with dominant green peppers and chalk. On some sips the decent length and expressiveness convinced me it wasn't corked.

Wow! This is ultimate funk. I had a 1990 vintage in my cellar and have no idea why. 25 years young.

Ummm...delicious!?! An incredibly balanced wine and hitting its stride here now 26yrs later. Tannins and acid were on point and right in my wheel house. I could go for 750mL more.

This 25 yr old #chinon cab franc is still absolutely beautiful. Sanguine color, poured out of #coravin so still had a little funk on the nose that quickly reveals wet earth and mushroom tones, plenty of delicate fruit left. I'd say it's hit its peak, but I'm going to keep a little around to try down the road.
