Double decanted 8 hours before service.
Intense nose with deep red berries, rose petals and a bit of green bell pepper. Good structure with dry tannins that have mellowed beautifully without losing the grip.
An absolute stunning bottle in a very classic Chinon style.
I served this for a couple of non-geek friends who were blown away by how tasty and good it was.
I told them that this exactly is why we keep and mature wine in our cellars or fridges.
Such a lovely cuvée from one of the greats in Chinon (if not in Loire entirely) and a great spot right now. No hurry to drink up.

Oh wow, was about to post my own Baudry notes!! Awesome to see this. Gonna do so now.
Bernard Baudry wines are just plain fun hahaha
The Baudry wines always hit the spot. Fun to do a blind tasting with their different wines and guess the soil type. As they’re always remarkably precise this is quite easy and fun.
