Lovely Loire Cab Franc from Chinon. Slightly herbal as cab franc often is, but the fruit comes through. Nicely balanced and some decent structure - 3 more years in the cellar wouldn't hurt. 89. 28/09/2013

Cabernet Franc (like all red Chinon), this bottle 2010. Had at wine tasting. It's got some nice spices to it.

Black cherry, cranberry, a little bramble. Light fruit, tart, watery middle, slight smoke finish.
