The title of this post refers to the incredibly vivid but pure and alluring tones of horse/cow fecal matter on the nose of this magnificent wine. I never knew shit could smell so good. Well..actually I did. Also there was exotic spice, clover, red fruits and three footbal fields of barnyard aromas. But oh so alluring. Palate was ripe and voluptious with sweet tannins and an intriguing herbal aspect. If you wanted to nitpick the acidity was a bit low but that is if you are really looking for something wrong with this wine. It was positively decadent wine and a testament to how great Chinon cna be with some age. The palate had a laciness that is similar to nice aged Burgundy. Great stuff. I gave a sip to some guy who was drinking some horrible over-oaked California Sangiovese next to me and he hated it. Actually made a face. Different strokes.I give credit to Norman Rockwell for my inspired title.
