1997 Domaine des Baumard Quarts de Chaume - France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Quarts de Chaume (6/15/2019)
Stunning. Baumard is an up and down producer for me, but this is a magnificent wine. Botrytis and age have turned this wine a dark bronze, but there’s nothing “old” about the way it tastes. The balance of burnished fruit, intense spice and a brown sugar finish that is incredibly intense. Crazy delicious stuff.

My favorite dessert wine. We still have bottles from the 70’s and 80’s that are downright delicious.

I’ve always liked, not loved this vintage from them. Their weakest wine in the excellent '95, '96 and '97 vintages, imo.

Brad, trying to decide if I want to pick up a couple bottles of this, what made you like this less than 95/96?
