Community Tasting Note

• Finare Vinare wrote: 88 points

  September 26, 2017 - The nose is still fairly youthful, with lactic notes of butterscotch, black currants and forest berries, cut grass and a slice of green bell pepper. Underneath, there are signs of development towards mushrooms and cooked meat. Tastewise just short of medium in everything, except the acidity which is clearly above average. The lightish tannins are somewhat green and astringent, with a slight wooden bitterness on the finish. A typical Chinon, but not much fun tonight. The fudgey notes are definitely a problem, while the savoury side is more exciting. Here's room for improvement over the next five to seven years.
