Great Chinon for the price. Thanks to Paul Juster for the solid recommendation! Gets a lot better as it opens up.

Raspberry syrup, underripe blackberry, vineyard dust, mild green pepper, extra lean on the palate. Love it.

Pencil lead shavings, iron, chalky raspberry, dried herbs, nice acid and minerality. Fan, but could be a bit more expressive.

Plum, dirt, and ash with good, round acidity. Fairly simple, but made for a nice bistro drink.
