Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
Great complexity - medium body, compelling aromas of black cherry, savory herbs like rosemary & sage, expensive purse leather with perfumey touches of florals and wood. The savory character really lingers in the finish. Quite a nice wine

Oct 24th, 2014Chinon 2011. Lots of pepper on the nose. Almost celery like. Very light, a little mineral. Very sister finish. Seems this is a 100% cab franc. Very nice, a little lighter.
