Jun 3rd, 2017Purple/red flower on the nose, candied cherry, tiny touch of black pepper, thyme, mint, cinnamon, nutmeg, medium plus tannin, a touch of tobacco, cocoa powder, beautiful and velvety. A very nice Chinon. Had pasta asparagus/mushroom pasta with anchovy garlic butter sauce with it. It's a wonderful pairing.

Nov 20th, 2015Definitely a bit funky. It’s the Loire cab franc experience. Tannins are prettt soft. There is red fruit and some traces of bell pepper.

Dark. Coffee, mocha, a touch reductive with serious tannin. Needs time.
