2005 Philippe Alliet Chinon (France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Chinon)


Alliet might just be the king of barnyard. This has a terrific nose of horse manure, tobacco, bell pepper, and blackberry. Not as stuffed as some of the other SVD Chinons I've recently had, but lots of balance and elegance combined with great structure. I would not be shocked to find this wine in great shape in 10 years or more. For the price, this is a no-brainer for me.
