Cassis, mulberry, violets, licorice w a touch of funk. Not as green and has more body and is more concentrated then a typical Chinon.

Underwhelming, unfortunately. Super ripe with not much character. Thin without much of a finish.

Very nice! Smooth, clean beautiful Franc. Mia really likes this (saying maybe the best Chinon she's had). Very balance with none of the off qualities that Franc can have. SS
