Leafy green herbs, bell pepper, tart raspberry and green tobacco. Wet stone minerality. A bit over extracted but a decent representation nonetheless.

Nice Chinon for the price. Earth dominated this one. Maybe another couple of years?

Beautiful smooth wine. Soft tannins. Full body.

Vegetal character with an underpinning of red fruit. Light body but enough tannins to keep it interesting. Nice wine

Fabulous full bodied and terrific tannic finish. Not a strong nose but suggests cherry. Cherry and apple to begin and then a sudden luscious tannic finish. Not harsh even straight from the bottle.

Very tasty wine. Pepper and fresh fruit on the nose, slight green pepper. Medium plus acidity with a long finish of blackberries. Very mellow tannin.

Good taste, not enough body but went along well with our meal. I think it's a great value for such a low price. Wines from the Loire are a steal! Would totally have it again.

Wine reviews from an audio geek: HPF at 200. Small bump around 400Hz and 3.5kHz. Long plate verb on the finish. Wide open, no compression.
