2021 Chester-Kidder
- Drink or Hold -Deep and compact red, full of ripe dark berries, chocolate, licorice, vanilla and crushed hazelnuts. Full and dense on the palate with velvety and broad tannins. Very long and opulent, with chocolaty character in the finish.
The 2021 Chester-Kidder opens with a balsamic tinge, blending crushed plums and grilled sage with dark chocolate and hints of spice. Cool-toned and racy in feel, it swirls across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits, offset by sour citrus and cocoa. The 2021 finishes long and staining with cheek-puckering concentration. Suggestions of clove linger on and on.
