Lite kantig, jag hade nog gett den 2-3 år till, men mkt bra. Örter, kryddor, blyerts, viol och syrliga bär.

Very nice and smooth #cabernetfranc #chinon relatively inexpensive. Highly drinkable because we polished off the bottle easily and happily.

Very good but still a youngster, give this another 3-5 to soften some of the structure.

Herbal, fleshy and minerally, very focused cassis and black fruits. Easy to drink.

Full-bodied Chinon, not quite as zippy and funky as I was hoping for.

One of the master's humbler cuvées, and still it floors me with deliciousness.

Young. Lacking the rusticity and structure I was desiring. Good food wine, nonetheless.
