2009 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grézeaux (France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Chinon)
Ah this is delicious right now. There's plenty of bright red fruit, but also a wealth of earthy, spicy tones that make it so interesting to sip. It's never heavy on the palate, but there is a richness to the texture that makes the wine feel bigger than it is. The aromas and flavors keep changing over time, with bits of soy and a hint of mint coming into play then flitting away as if they were never there. Intriguing wine (if you are into that sort of thing) that also happens to be just plain tasty.
- thankfully in Horse Ridge, so I won't touch em anytime soon.)
