2018 Saget la Perriere "Marie de Beauregard" Chinon

92 Points from Wine & Spirits Magazine: "Made without any stems and aged in barrel for nine months, this wine developed campfire woodsiness and cinnamon spice. As it opens, the focus turns toward wilder notes of hay and soil. The fruit is pitch dark, lifted by spicy graphite and floral accents. Its spice would match well with crispy duck breast, but the fruit is beefy enough to stand next to flank steak." (04/21)

90 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "This wine offers ripe black fruits and spicy, smoky flavors. Still young, it has rich potential. Let the fruit and dry core soften and meld. Drink from 2021." (12/31/20)
