Light and berry-forward; maybe just a little cocoa and pencil. a delightful food wine for my Greek menu.

Pretty, floral, red-fruited, entry-level Chinon. Surprising lack of bell pepper notes. Some graphite. Delightful texture and acid. I'm buying more.

First reaction on the nose was "flowers ".
Potpourri in the mouth. Very dry finish. Drank 2013 vintage 2/28/17
