WTN: 2006 Baudry Les Granges

Hah!

I am starting to explore Loire reds - A merchant here in Vienna has started to carry a few, including Baudry. Very nice!


2006 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Chinon (3/26/2008)
Short impressions: Quite ripe for a Loire Red but fresh and structured, red fruit mixed with some herbs (nothing unripe or green here), medium bodied, fine acidity, very "moreish", long and clean finish. After some time, some tannins show up. Excellent. Drink or hold.

Thanks for the note. Haven't had any 06 Baudry wines. But when I get the time, I should rectify that oversight.

As I mentioned before, I have the `05 Baudry Grezeaux sitting right here!
Think I will open later this week!

A whole different animal.

But, should be tasty.

It was exciting to see so many different French Cabernet Franc being tasted for WBW. I had to open a bottle of 2005 Bernard Baudry~Les Grezeaux~Chinon in honor of so many franc corks being pulled in such a short period of time. Stunning wine, one of the best wines I have ever tasted. Even with the apparent vintage ripeness, with the caliber and balance of this wine it should walk gracefully into it's next decade, maybe two. But it is so good now!

Found this on a blog whilst doing some Baudry research. Cannot track which blog it was. Can I still post this Robin? If not, please delete.
